I opened my blog today to find that I had reached the 10,000 page-view mark! How exciting for me! I remember when I started blogging just about three years ago. I was shy and afraid and sure that no one would ever read what I wrote!
I have since published 232 posts with over 1,000 comments! I want to say thank you to my readers for supporting me and encouraging me and for following my story. Thank you for your comments, which materialize your presence and have often served as a lifeline for me.
I often wonder about the quiet readers who leave no visible mark other than a notch in my stats page and little extra color on the map. I hope that if you feel my pain, you do not feel alone and that perhaps you might be walking some of my baby steps with me.
I am proud of this blog. I am proud of the work that I have done as I have written these pages. I am proud of the candid words, the flowing tears, the honesty of it all. This is my place to come clean. This is where I lay it all down.
Thank you, again, for 10,000 page views.
Yay you! Congrats. That's a major accomplishment. I, for one always look forward to reading what you have to say. You're honest and real, and I appreciate that more than you know.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up.
Than you Tiffany, It means a lot to me to hear that from you. I figured if I can't be honest here (and in therapy) there is really no point to it :)
DeleteHappy new year!
Ja wohl !!
ReplyDeleteYou got it!
DeleteCongratulations and Happy New Year! I often wonder about the silent readers
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat! Happy New Year to you too!
DeleteSometimes I want to say to the silent readers, "It's OK to say hello. I promise I won't bite", but I know that I'm a silent reader in some people's blogs too :)
