I never thought that back in 2017 when I
started writing a blog post about business items and my deepest personal
thoughts on matters that I’d now be reaching my 500th blog
post! I’ve covered many topics, some
serious and many others not so serious, at least by some of my readers.
But the time has come for me to end my blog
and I thought that doing so on the 500th post would be very
fitting. I guess if you reach a goal of
500 of anything it is quiet an achievement.
So, I am rather pleased that I have been able to do that with this blog.
If I just took a guess and said that each
of my blogs were about 600 words in length (on average) then I have written
some 300,000 words during the time of its posting. I would hope that some of those words have
made you happy and you have enjoyed spending a few moments of your time reading
them. I know that I have enjoyed writing
them although some were a lot easier to write than others.
By suspending the preparation of the twice
per week blog postings I will have more time to commit to other activities that
I have been wanting to concentrate on more fully. I am continuing to write books and I have
started venturing into the writing of Excel programs for specific business
and/or personal use.
So, in a sense, I will continue to write
even though it will not be dispersed through the venue of my blog. Many things have been said over these past
few years and many more things could have been explored a little deeper. I am content with the output and the
realization that you can’t always say the words that you are wanting to put “on
paper,” but I have tried to do this to some degree.
As Shakespeare said it with the lines of
Juliet to Romeo (Act-11, Scene-11, Lines 188-189) “Parting is such sweet
sorrow.” Although this sorrowful parting
gives them pleasure and looks “sweet” as it gives them hope to see each other
again the next morning, I am not trying to imply to you that at some time in
the future you may find my words again dripping from the “pages” of my
blog. I am merely saying that in many
ways it is “sweet” to know that I have perhaps touched some in a special way
with my posts, it is also a “sorrow” in that it now comes to any end.
And as has been quoted many times, “all
good things come to an end,” I am also certain that there are some (or perhaps
many) who will be glad to finally see the ending of this blog because they
never considered it “good things” from the beginning. To those individuals whoever they maybe I can
only say that you have finally got your desire come to fruition and I hope you
can find tranquility in the fact that the blog ends with this post.
To those who have found some enjoyment in
the blog I can only say that I do have regrets that this is the final blog post
and that from hereafter you will not see any more postings. To you I can say that time moves on and so do
people and I hope you find some other material to read in the future.
For 499 posts I have always ended by
letting all my readers know that whatever they are thinking, whatever they are
doing, whatever events may have had some type of influence over their lives,
they are only human. But with this being
my last blog post I will confess to all of you who may not know the truth --- I’m
only human!
QUOTE TO CONSIDER
"Regardless the sweetness of the dessert,
you should enjoy every bite!"
