Yep, that's right, I got 'em. LOTS of them! I started thinking about blogging way back a long time ago. I have talked myself out of it SO many times. I always think, "Who in their right mind would give a rat's patootie about reading ANYTHING I have to say?" And so I didn't. I guess that's why I convinced myself when I was thinking about my resolutions for 2010, that if I set a resolution to begin blogging, then I'd be FORCED to do it! Well, I started a blog and then immediately got discouraged. I have TWO, count 'em, TWO followers...and one of them is married to me. I figured I have about as many people reading... So, this week, with a renewed sense of "Who cares? I'll just do it for me!", I revamped my blog design and started anew. I decided to add a counter...and when given the option to start my count at 0 or 1000 I really almost chose 1000. I didn't though, I started at zero. I figured that with Danny and Amy reading, I might slowly climb to 10!!!! I was thrilled tonight to see that I have had 35 hits. Now, I realize 20 of them have probably been Danny...but maybe someone else is out there???
If you are, and if you want to help a poor insecure soul feel amazingly good about herself...feel free to just post a "hello" or "nice punctuation...NOT!" If you really feel led, you are welcome to follow me. I won't let it go to my head, I promise. I know you won't really be following me. I'll just view you as a companion in my quest to follow God!
Happy Friday! I'm off to eat homemade apple crisp with the fam...YUMMO!

Hiya! I know what you mean. Once you starting "blogging," there's a weird pressure to get lots of comments to validate the effort. I knew someone who started a blog not too long after Kyrie's, put a counter up and it seemed like she was more "successful" or maybe her story was "better." My solution? I did not put up a counter, I did not check analytics and I did not solicit commentators every day like she urged. I decided I was writing for God, not for anyone else. Remember, this is not a popularity contest. This is a little cyberspace just for you. ;)
