Six years ago, in March 2014, I uploaded a number of posts on my new-look blog www.mufidsukkar.com with help from an excellent Cypriot professional called Andreas Avraam.  A year or so before that, I had the urge to write about anything and everything.  I began with fiction, which was not very good, so I abandon that and decided to write about my life experiences.  The pieces were relatively short and after testing them on a few people I had the courage to publish them in a blog.

Six years on, I am still writing, not always very well and without a specific style.  I am still trying to improve my style and readability. And no doubt, I will never master the impossible art of ‘good writing’.  However, the writing helped me let off steam, share a joke or funny experience, or just let myself wander into fantasy land.  In addition, it helped me navigate through tough times when I was very sick and struggling to make sense of what happened to my ordered and under-control life.

Over those 6 years I posted 270 blogs, with this being number 271.  I still have so many thoughts and ideas I would like to write about but, not all of them are worth sharing with the world.  However, I am thinking of creating a new category to write about cooking.  I have always loved cooking but never wrote about it. If I do, it will not be about recipes because that would be boring, in any case, I don’t follow recipes in my cooking, I just remember ingredients without weights and measures.

For any of you who read one or more of my blogs, you surprise me but, thank you for doing so, you have no idea how much this means to me.
