Nothing much, just thinking aloud on the first anniversary of activegoldengirls.blogspot

When I first started this blog in May 2008, it was done out of curiosity, i.e. my curiosity about the technicalities involved in maintaining a blog. Well...by now I think I already know some of the basics.

When I started making entries I had no planned themes in mind. But slowly I posted items that interest me, like issues involving the elderly since I belong to this age group; cases of child abuse for which I feel a very deep sense of disgust and always wish "if only there is something I could do"; jokes and anything amusing since I love to have a good laugh and tend to google for humour quite often and also my own personal feelings about some everyday encounters or something I happen to recollect from the past.

There are many blogs with political overtones and I enjoy reading them. As a student of History and International Relations, and having been involved in the public service for over 30 years, I have my own views, some leftist, some rightist, some in between. I had been tempted many times to post my comments and opinion on the current political scene, but I think I will keep those as "saved drafts" for the time being. I will keep this blog a light hearted one where I can retreat to whenever I feel like taking a short break from my other activities.
