I’m profoundly lucky

It’s the time of the year in which I find that I have more time to reflect upon life.

Apart from the normal gratitude for my health, family, security and normality / predictability of my life, the thing that I’m most grateful for is WordPress.

The ability for me to express my (mostly banal) thoughts and reach much of the world (should they wish to engage), is something precious and remarkable. This point bears further pondering. I have an idea, I log in, type, upload images and hit publish. It’s there for those able to browse the internet, all in a heartbeat.

Can you imagine the countless millions, now passed, who would have wished this were available to them?

It’s precious and it might never have been.

I could write in HTML, CSS and Javascript to create online content, but honestly, I’d rather just download WordPress and let it take care of all the complexities for me.

The best part… it’s 100% free to download, use and modify.
