Looking through the pages of my commonplace book
I paused to take a look at the posts I had copied down
in 2020, the ones that had brought me much pleasure,
that made me pause, take a measure of my life:
here they are without fear or favouritism, in the order
they appeared:
‘Birch’ and ‘Boring’ by Beth
‘Nimmitabel’ and ‘My Suburban Horror Movie’ by Out of the Cave
‘The Old Dog’ and ‘the length some people will go to kill butterflies’ by D R Bogdan
‘How to Survive as a Mental Patient’ and ‘Wait for Me’ by Sarcastic Fringehead
‘Some People are Trees’ by Jewish Young Professional
‘No’ and ‘Monochrome; by Cathy’s Real Country Garden
‘Watching Candles Burn’ and ‘Just Came for the Burger’ by Mark Tulin
“Sweet Sundown’ by Michael Jordahl
‘Carpet of Frosty Leaves’ by Ulle Haddock
‘Testing’ by Hobbo
‘Here I Am’ by Boromax

not memory, Beth: each of those posts I copied out in my commonplace book when I came across them: all I had to do was look back 🙂

Good idea John. I can’t even remember my own posts, never mind other peoples. Thanks for the pick. Some of yours should certainly be on that list!

LOL !! thanks Hobbo. I’m just quietly stunned by the quality of work you come across in WordPress. In the end, it’s a personal preference. Others might choose differently: which brings me to the thought: why don’t others post their annual preferences?

Good idea. I might try jotting down the truly exceptional ones in my notebook. That way I can post a short list at the end of the year with links to them.
