A Year Ago… Today
BeMused, the blog, was officially launched on the Blogger platform.
 
 
A Year Ago… Bemused told of where shadows come to light.
Today… Cléa B.Mused scribbles in the sand.
 
 
A Year Ago… BeMused was clad in a red and black evening wardrobe.
Today… CBMUSED wears the colours of the ocean.

A Year Ago… Blogging was a forum for an exchange of ideas, the discovery of different viewpoints and the engagement in solid discussions.
Today… Blogging has caved in to the “I agree” phenomenon, superficial discussions, and in some instances has become a playground for flame wars, internet cowards and comment collectors.

A Year Ago… Blogging was still a thriving and engaging hobby.
Today… (Good) Blogging is dead and morphed into fast food joints such as Facebook, Twitter and others.

A Year Ago… I had a strong appreciation for blogger friends.
Today… Some friendships have strengthened while others have revealed their true colours.

A Year Ago… I was awed by the unselfishness of some of my blogger friends; they are Aces.
Today… I am not convinced if new blogger friendships can ever reach the same depths.

A Year Ago… I said no to moving to a hosted WordPress site.
Today… I renewed my domain registration; it’s the best blog move I have ever made.

A Year Ago… I made a most difficult decision.
Today… And I still stand by its difficulty.

A Year Ago… Amidst much turbulence, change was inevitable.
Today… I live and breathe the change and expect more of it.

A Year Ago… I was passionate about writing.
Today… Writing has become synonymous with ‘the things I do’.

A Year Ago…I was lucky and most appreciative of having an intimate audience.
Today…I am ever so grateful for the support I have today.

A Year Ago…
I was uncertain if I’d make this Blogaversary.

Today…
I raise a Martini toast to CBMUSED’s First Blogaversary.
And a special Martini cheer to each one of you who has been part of my bemused journey.
Cheers!
