Yesterday I made a simple, but very nice dinner for Mairon and me…
A nice big steak (medium done) with some mushroom, snow peas/carrots and Pommes Parisiennes with peel. It tasted wonderful! But during dinner I brought a subject up that I have pondered about lately.
I love to work on my blog. It some kind of public dairy to me. It is very nice to look back on what happened in the last years. And that is really a lot. Good and bad things!
I started this blog in 2007. Wow, that is almost 5 years already! And to be precise, before this I blogged for some time at web-log.nl. But hosting a blog yourself gives you much more control and possibilities.
Anyway, back in 2007 I was still busy with getting my life in the right direction again. And yes, at that time some very big and important steps were already made successfully. So hence the name of blog “Life is there to life again…”.
But concerning getting my life on the right track again, I can only say one thing: Mission accomplished!
Many good things happened: Marion stepped into my life and brought a lot of happiness along with her… I know some great people that I am proud of to call friends… I have a nice job and the people I work directly with are good people to have around… I bought a nice apartment in Heemskerk… Have nice hobbies as photography… and many things more. Sure, sad things as the passing away from my mother happened also. But yes, life is very positive to me!
Sure, Life is still there to be lived again… but it feels a little as a passed station. So maybe it is time to give my blog a new name that reflects better the current situation.
So I am looking for a new name for my blog. I already thought of “I code, so I am…” reflecting the work I do, but somehow it doesn’t feel really good to me. I agree with Marion that I only should change the name if I am 100% sure about it.
So if you have any serious suggestions, please let me know 🙂
Hei, here one of your nice and sometimes teasing colleagues 😉
If you want to change the name of your blog, why not a very simple one that still reflects your life (as far as I am able to follow), like :”Life is there to live” – and perhaps something added to it if you like (“it”, “to the xxxx” -> anything you could think of, etc). Or use the Latin translation of Life is there to live. Keep the change short & simple, I would say. A nice one could be (!) to just name it “Life is there to …” and start each of your new topic with an addition about the subject of your new posting. In this case the addition could have been: “…. think about changing my blog name”. Just some brainstorming! 🙂 Good luck!
