A few weeks ago was PepperedThought’s fifth birthday.

A lot of things have happened since I started this adventure, both personally and online. Trying to write something genuine every week is a serious struggle for a serial diary-abandoner, but I have found that for a forgetful person like me, it is invaluable to have little tidbits of my life and things I love in one place. Invaluable. The only thing I regret is not writing more. Luckily, that is something I can change.

I have been telling myself that writing a little something is infinitely better than leaving an empty page and a full mind. So full that I can’t sleep, thinking about all of everything. So I really should think of this as my place to come and write about whatever needs to being taken from my mind.

I am thankful that there are some of you that tell me that you enjoy this blog – it helps keeps me going.
