Happy 6th Blogoversary

I had almost forgotten: this blog is now 6 years old as of today. 🥳

This wasn’t the first blog I wrote on the subject, but I used to have bouts of Imposter Syndrome, followed by a habit of deleting old blogs, then inevitably starting new ones anyway. So, I think I am on blog number four or five.

That said, I am older, slightly wiser, and recognize self-doubt more than I used to. Instead of imposing a schedule like I used to, which wasn’t that sustainable anyway, I just write when time allows. It makes the experience more fun, and feels less like work.

As for the blog, I wrote three posts on the same day:

• I Finally Did It – the very first post (also referencing whatever my past blog was… I forget)
• The Twelve Year Zodiac in Japan, and
• Yakudoshi? More Like Yaku-no-shi! – a moment of hubris that paid me back later.

As for you, dear readers, thanks for making the experience worthwhile. The feedback, questions, comments and such are all appreciated, and even those who just read occasionally, it’s nice knowing that I have such a diverse audience of readers, and that people are genuinely interested in such topics.

Hopefully, like my other blog, this one will be around for a long time to come.
