Today, July 22nd, 2024, marks the 14-year anniversary of the date I started this blog, A Life Most Bountifully Blessed, for the very first time. It was my very first blog, and when I started it, the things I wrote about were a little bit different from what I now write here. But I have been reflecting on this blog, its origins, and the reasons why I started this blog in the first place oh so long ago, the reasons why I deleted it after writing it for over 7 years, and the reasons why I have recently revived it.
I have been thinking about a great many things lately, both directly related to those specific details revolving around the beginnings, ending, and now the revival of the blog called, “A Life Most Bountifully Blessed”. A lot of reflecting and deep thought about my life, in general, and the original A Life Most Bountifully Blessed blog, as well as pondering over many other things over the past few months has led me to desire to return to both my own personal roots and origins, but also to the original roots of this blog, and to nurture and strengthen ties that bind me to those roots and my original intended purpose for writing and keeping a record of my life in this manner, here in my own little nook of the internet.
I would like to write about this further, and I will, but the hour is now late, and my eyes are becoming increasingly heavy with every minute that I stay awake, so I will simply give a brief summary of my intended use of this blog from this day moving forward:
I want to restore the original purpose and focus of this blog: Homemaking, Homesteading, and the Hopeful Pursuit of one’s dreams.
This blog started out as a written record that I shared with my friends and family about my efforts to build and nurture the life that I had dreamed about since I was 10 years old. I want to return to that basic idea, but this time, 14 years later, I now approach the essence of this dream of mine from a more experienced, more developed, more fine-tuned, refined, and wise vantage point than I did when I first ventured into this endeavor of mine 14 years ago. With all of those years behind me, I can write that same blog I had started and envisioned what it could become that first summer of 2010, but this time around I can make it all of those things that I envisioned for this digital home on the internet of mine, but a little more refined.
These are my hopes for A Life Most Bountifully Blessed.
