Thanks for the #blogvent 2025. It gained you a follower (here and on daily.dev, where I found you in the first place) and it gave me a reminder to blog.
Your post on "Coming up with blog topics" was very inspirational.
For the final day of #blogvent 2025 I talked about the gratitude practice that has helped me shift perspective. Happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates and a Happy New Year!

#blogvent day 20 is something that I previously wrote but wanted to reshare. Overall I think I'm pretty good at vignettes and not so good at longer form stories or anything. But this one was fun to write.

For #blogvent Day 18 I did my 2025 retrospective. I may add some pictures to it later, but for now it's just a write up. I may actually update the post as well, since I feel like I still missed a lot of stuff!

My #blogvent for Day 12 is just a quick thought about a bird I saw yesterday in the fountain. It was a ruby crowned kinglet that's really cute and so flighty it's hard to catch them standing still.

It's day 12 of #blogvent! Today I wrote about podcasts I currently listen to.
cassidoo.co/post/podcast...
For #blogvent day 11 I was going to write about a few more bird names. But then, I got so caught up in writing about just, nightjars, that it took over the whole post. The main bird of the evening is the Satanic Nightjar!
