happy anniversary

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

today is my anniversary
no i dont mean my wife she and i s anniversary
but
its the anniversary of this blog
number 3

one saturday afternoon 3 years ago my wife she said
to me after i came inside after working in the yard
i want you to see this pbs show
its about this lady thats started writing this blog just
to help herself
it was therapeutic
then she shared some with her friends
then they shared it
now its a popular blog that makes her a 6 figured salary

in the back of my mind i had always wanted to do a blog
to write about being a doctor organic gardening rainwater collection
solar power green living

so i told my wife i bet i could do that
so i sat down the first day and wrote a short paragraph defining
what i would blog about

then 3 months later i was hit with my diagnosis
mild cognitive impairment amnestic type that is thought to be
due to alzheimers disease

this changed the focus of this blog some
but i didnt want it to be just about alzheimers disease as many people
who get diagnosed do with their blog
so
i usually blog about alzheimers only on friday using it to educate folks
about the disease and to promote any fundraising walks or educational
talks that are being done and to let people know where i am
with this disease

ive continued to blog about my original ideas on organic gardening solar
power rainwater collection green living and anything else i find interesting

i also post my blog on twitter and facebook

my blog is read by people all across the us and several countries

here are my statistics
total pageviews 272,652
readership in order us germany china ukraine united kingdom

i want to thank you that read this blog
i hope that
i make you smile some every day

and
make you an advocate for alzheimers disease

thanks
