Happy blogging anniversary

You registered on WordPress.com 8 years ago.
Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.
As at today I have been blogging for 8 years.
I have published 1339 posts.
I have had 169,178 views of my blog.
And I’ve welcomed 80,900 visitors to my world.
Gotta be happy with that – and I am very happy!!

Given most of the news lately is bad, I thought I’d share some good news with you 🙂
If you’ve been one of these thousands of visitors then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you’re new here then welcome, and I hope you stick around.
Take care and blog on!
Deb xx
PS. Nothing like a bit of self-congratulation to lift one’s spirits 🙂 Please excuse my humble bragging, normal transmission will return shortly!

You can also find Deb’s World in lots of other places – stay in touch by clicking any of the buttons below.

A tragic accident at age 17, resulting in a Bravery Award from the Queen, didn’t deter Debbie from travelling the world. A young retiree, after being made redundant from her 22 year career managing education programs in a men’s correctional centre, she now loves reading, blogging, riding her ebike and a good cup of tea! Also known as Granny Debs to her 4 grandchildren.

Oh Erica, you have made me smile today with your lovely comment! Thank you so much. I agree I do try to cover the realities of life as much as possible and I believe that staying positive is better than being a Debbie Downer – there’s enough of them around and they give my name a bad look!!! xx

Congratulations my friend. If only I “had” not deleted so many of my posts from 2010-2015 I may have known what I have written. As a practical person and paying for my blog to be hosted, my tech guy suggested years ago that I cull and I am glad I did. Still, this is coming up to my 10th year. Nevertheless glad to be blogging into 2020 and beyond and getting to meet Australian based bloggers that were not part of the Aussie Bloggers groups in 2010-2013. Denyse #mlstl

You’re allowed to humble brag as much as you like – 8 years is quite an achievement and I’m so glad I got to “meet” you through it all. Blogging is a joy and an outlet and it has saved my sanity a couple of times, so I think that a little self-congratulations is definitely in order as we hit each blogiversary xx
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 😊
