This is my 500th post.
When I first started blogging I didn’t think I would have 100 ideas for posts, let alone 500.
Without you, dear readers, 500 posts wouldn’t have been possible, so a million thank yous to you all for reading.
Writing 500 posts got me thinking about what other things I have done in my life 500 times.
Here’s some of them:
* drunk 500 cups of coffee
* drunk at least 500 litres of wine
* got out of bed 500 times
* seen 500 sunsets
* cried 500 times
* laughed 500 times
* puked 500 times (must have been all that wine)
* said the ‘F’ word 500 times
* apologised for saying the ‘F-word’ in polite company 500 times
* went to 500 parties
* walked 500 miles
* walked 500 more
* sang 500 songs
* ate 500 ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches (with pickle)
* read 500 books
* said Good To See You and meant it, 500 times
* gazed in awe at 500 storms
500.
It’s quite a grand and significant number.
What have you done 500 times?

I am really grateful for you saying that. Blogging has benefited me enormously not just for the friends I have made but because it has allowed me to develop my writing style. 500 posts came much easier than I thought!
BEAR:
Awwww, thanks for those 500 bear hugs. Actually, that post with me in my PJs was going to be my next series of posts with a different animal or person farting every time. How did you know? 😆

Like you, I thought I would run out of ideas … but, remember ‘If you pick something up, however small, you’ll find it hitched to the whole damn’ universe’
Which I’d attribute, if I could remember where I saw it.

And you have touched 500 people with your words, your beautiful all powerful words.
Actually it should be more than 500 by now, you spread the love through your writing, I absorb it completely, and in turn spread it out to others; it just multiples by itself.

It will be interesting to see how far I can get. I have at least another 500 in me, I think!
KAYDEE:
Some of my posts really were a load of old cobblers, but I didn’t have the heart to delete them. It’s all part of the process, I suppose. I hope you let us know when you get to 500. It can’t be too far off!
TBALL:
You have biked 500 miles. WOW. That is impressive. I used to eat a lot of bananas too. They are such an energy boost. One of my favourite treats to date still is a proper old-fashioned Banana Split. You can’t beat it!
TRAVELRAT:
I have found that, you know. There have been many times where I’ve had an idea and have thought :’No one will be interested in reading that.’ But lo and behold, they have been. It’s been great!
MOTHER HEN:
Awww. You are such a sweetie. XXXX

Thanks, G. Just take it day by day for now. Hugs to you.
