Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com!
You registered on WordPress.com 11 years ago.
Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.
I would say it has been a long journey. Yes, I opened an account here 11 years ago with a lone entry of a simple poem but I only got the courage to update it more than a year later. I do have five blogs here but Dreams and Escapes gets the biggest share of it all. This is my 2,560th post in this blog and so far, I have around 570,047 stats total for Dreams and Escapes. In terms of followers, this lately registered 3,713 including those who subscribe via e-mails.
It’s been a long journey of meeting people from all walks of life, becoming friends with them, enjoying those lovely comments and exchanges, discovering other blogs that one enjoys reading. And it’s all about sharing all these – life, daily experiences, books, family, thoughts and ramblings and some simple poems in between.
It’s been a long journey of sometimes deep thoughts that come and go. Some of my followers have been with me since I started blogging and I deeply appreciate it. Some are just new to my blog but they are also active in commenting and sharing their thoughts too.
And I love how a friend views blogging: It has become a way of life 🙂
Congratulations, Arlene – what an impressive (& inspiring) milestone. 11 years is a long time (& lots of blogs!) Blessings & celebratory blogging hugs!! 🎊🌟💐🍰💐🌟🎊

Hi Arlene, I think you must be one of the bloggers I follow who has been here the longest. I think I started somewhere around 2011, but I’m not sure. I had an original blog, but then deleted it…so I probably will never know. I admire your persistence and your terrific posts. Kathy

Well done with your 11 years, Arlene. I am coming up to 7 years this summer, and that already feels like a lifetime.
Best wishes, Pete.
