On July 19, 2018 I did my first blog. As I look back on the six years since that first blog I like what I see. I think I have grown because of the writing that has become a part of me. Who would have thought before that I would be publishing a blog every week. I remember when I started somebody told me it would be impossible to keep it up. Six years later I am glad I was able to prove them wrong. It’s a matter of just putting in the work and importantly liking what you do. Well I like what I do in my free time. How else would the blogs happen if not by constantly writing? It’s great to have the ability to hear, see or think of a topic and just write. I will continue working on the development of that muscle. I realize I really like the writing and I will continue on this journey. It’s now a part of my life.
The Journey | Andrea A Atkinson Perry
When I started this journey I never even thought where it would go. I was just testing the water and wanted to see where it would go. I’m still on this journey,I don’t know where it will go and where it will end up. Will I stop or is it something ongoing? Six years ago I didn’t even know this would be a part of my life. Life is forever changing and we can’t hold onto it and assume it will remain stagnant. It would be like holding on to water or sand and not expecting it to leave the hands.
The thousand mile journey starts with a single step. | Andrea A Atkinson Perry
We never know what tomorrow will bring so we take life as it comes to us. As I have mentioned in other blogs life is as we see it, we move with it as we would down a river. Many times we never know how far down the river we will go or if we get off on one of the tributaries. Sometimes we don’t even get off voluntarily but are forced off. Life happens and it is after all fluid. There is no way it can be what we expect all the time. It is presented to us and we make the best of what is there. What else to do? Let’s make the most of life as we go along the way.
I shall pass this way but once | Andrea A Atkinson Perry
Let me know what you think, I really want to know and I sure others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. It could also spawn another blog. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
See you next Wednesday at 8:00 pm, Bogota time.
I would love it if you would say something, anything and tell someone. 🙏🏽
Congrats on your 6th, Andrea.
Your piece today leads me to conclude that consistency is the amino acid for the mind’s reactor. It fuels your thoughts, and creates an output called satisfaction, which then drives you to create more pieces.
Continue writing until your perpetual machine runs out of fuel, which is to say, ‘not any time soon’.
Thank you my friend. Hope to keep the machine running perpetually 👍🏽
Congratulations. Six years. This is amazing!!! Your blogs are often thought provoking and inspirational. Sometimes, we do not don’t the extent of our possibilities until we are brave enough to venture there.
Thank you so much. To take the leap was not easy but here we are. 🙌🏽
Congrats on yet another anniversary!!! I have personally enjoyed the journey of life thus far. Despite the challenges, heartaches and heartbreaks, there was always enough fun and fortune to balance the scales. I’ve always embraced the new and different even while enjoying the safety of sameness. So I guess my point is, while life may be unpredictable, seek balance in all you do. Work hard but play equally as hard. Spend as much time with your loved ones as you can without sacrificing your time for self. The destination should never be the goal, as we’re not guaranteed to get there but the journey, now that you should savour. So you bought your first car. Big whoop!!! Now think about all it took to get to that first car.
Again, here’s to another six years my friend!! Hang on and enjoy the ride!!
Not letting go my friend. Intend to enjoy the ride. Interestingly that’s the title of the blog today 🤔
Congrats on 6 years Andrea! Keep doing what you enjoy- that is what drives your motivation, confidence & consistency:) I have enjoyed your blogs- always “food for thought”😊
Here’s to more years of blogging!
Thank you. I will blog as long as I can. 🙏🏽
Congrats Andrea! Really admire your discipline and I also enjoy your writing. Continue to do what you love.
Thank you my friend. It’s now a part of me. Living the journey.
