Women Over Fifty
Do you know how many blogs are on the internet? I did a quick search, and I don’t think anybody knows. The best I could find was that according to Wikipedia, Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs in December of 2007.
More than 112 million. Wow! It boogles the brain. And I would venture it is safe to say that at least half of them are not worth the bytes they are taking up on their servers. So when a certain writer I happen to know decided to blog, I knew it would make the blogging world a better place!
Her most recent blog is Women Over Fifty . Not surprisingly, the author is a woman over 50. She is also retired. She takes time off from writing her book, to write on her blogs. Often she writes on her blogs when she feels she should be working on her book! I am happy that she blogs, because that means I can read her writing now, and I don’t have to wait for the book to come out.
The blog’s tagline is “exploring the excitement of having options” and that pretty much sums up the blog. The author writes about the little things in life. Christmas letters, reading, her square dance dresses. The writing is pleasant and cozy. Kind of makes me wish that her blog post were a book so I could cuddle up with them near the fire with a cup of hot chocolate.
Do yourself a favor and go on over to Women Over Fifty . And while you are there, leave a comment. I think the author is feeling a little lost and lonely in a sea of over 112 million blogs!
