Just noticed that my blogiversary had taken place and gone and that I didn’t even notice!
Well, it’s been four years, four years since I started this blog, right at the time when I discovered that I had breast cancer.
I was still working then, and was expecting retirement on September 30th 2004. Given surgery and radiation therapy, I didn’t even notice that I had retired until it was all over.
It was quite a change in my life, one that I thoroughly enjoyed, once radiation therapy was over and done with.

Since then, I have started photography, and using several different cameras, become a flickr addict, opened and dropped other blogs, and of late taken up exercising for health, which is taking up a lot of my time.
These days I find it difficult to post regularly. I just try to stick to my Wednesday Window routine, since that is one that is not time consuming.
Sometimes I feel tempted to give up blogging, but you see, I have made quite a lot of friends while blogging, some I’ve actually met for real, and others that I only correspond with through our blogs or through email. So blogging has become part of my life, a part of my social life that I really appreciate.

I am taking a break with my French blog for the summer. Will I start again, come September? We’ll see. I think that two blogs, not counting ElderExercise, which is more like an exercise log, is too much work. And I don’t want blogging to become a chore for me. I want it to go on being fun.

So will Blogging in Paris still be around next year? Who knows?
