Today is a bit of a mile stone. For me, anyway. It was exactly one year ago since I started this blog, A Good Life. Here’s my first bog post, It’s a Good Life, which will give you some background as to why I picked up the “pen” in the first place. (See more thoughts on the About page, as well as Why We Should Write.) PS. Thanks for wonderful support and encouraging comments throughout this year.

We live in a blog world. And it’s getting more “bloggier” by the day. Thousands are each day registering new blogs, and raising their voices. Some of these voices you wish you’d never heard, but… there are some who actually have something good to say, believe it or not, and we’d do well to bookmark their site. Now and then I will copy links to some of those blog sites that I think are worth while reading. They are of the “feel good” kind, promoting a good life. The first one

What I mean is I don’t write these posts to entertain in any way. I just write them because I feel I should. Let me try to explain. Blogging about this important mom

What beats a bedtime story? How about four bedtime stories? My sons kidnapped me! They wouldn’t let me go. I started with one story (which was our deal), then a second, just to show them I cared. When my time was up, the little terrorists started pressing me. “You’re not a nice daddy if you leave now”; and “We’re going tell mommy that you…” (well, we’ll skip that part…). “Okay”, I answered with faked authority, “but only one more!” Somehow that one became two.

Publishing my first blog. When I thought of a suitable title for my page, I didn’t have to think long. It came to my mind immediately: A Good Life. Whether this was inspiration or just good common sense, it matters not.
