Nearly nine years ago when not long after retiring from work, I decided to "manage" a blog of my own.  (I have told you why did I have to write in English in the first place.)  Almost unknowingly, now I found the number of my writings has passed 3,000.

3,000 in nearly nine years means almost every piece for each day  averagely, and so the writing has already become my daily "work", like keeping a diary.  

I am 75 now; I really do not know how long can I continue keeping my "diary", but I surely will.
