The 70-Something blog will be three years old tomorrow.  This is its 316^th post.  So far, I have kept my promise to write twice a week.  (In case you haven’t noticed, I am rather compulsive.)

My blog provider lets me see how many readers I have, and although I am not The Huffington Post (and don’t want to be), my numbers are steadily increasing.  People have asked me if I ever run out of things to say.  So far—no.  My husband Peter can attest that I always have something to say.  But am I saying something meaningful?  Are my observations about being in my eighth decade (yikes!) connecting to others? 

I have heard from readers who are a couple of generations younger than I am and from folks who are older than I.  I am very pleased when anyone takes a few minutes to read what I have to say.

I began this blog to process what is happening to me as I grow older.  Hearing that keeping a journals may be good for one’s health may have had something to do with it.  By now, it’s as much a part of my life as brushing my teeth.

Please continue to read.  And thank you.
