You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!”

– Gandalf, The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien

In early 2019, my friend and I were chatting about all manner of topics (as we are wont to do) from books to podcasts to life, and the topic of blogging was broached. My friend, becoming delightfully enthusiastic, asked if I would like to share her blog. So, on 1 September 2019 I made my first post. (Looking back on it, I believe Hogwarts would have been a better topic on that particular day, but c’est la vie.)

It’s been an enjoyable journey, this year-long weekly posting of ideas.

Because life, as is its nature, changes, my wonderings will no longer be weekly. I will persist on the last Sunday of the month with ‘Reading Life’, and will also attempt to have a post on the first Sunday of every month. Additionally, my fellow blogger and I will continue with the conversational blog the last Wednesday of the month. (There may be extra posts on random days when the mood strikes including some more collaborative posts with my fellow blogger!)

I look forward to what lies ahead for our little corner of the world.

Thank you for journeying with me each week this past year, and I hope that Back to Hogwarts Day 2020 has been a pleasant one for you.
