Thank you.
Thank you to the viewers who have been with me since the beginning in August, 2011. If you were one of the original 131 views that month almost twelve years ago and became a subscriber who still hangs with me, I salute you and give you thanks.
Thank you to the email subscribers, WordPress subscribers, and social media subscribers who have signed up and signed in faithfully through the years, whose words of encouragement through comments on the blog or a followup phone conversation, over a cocktail or a game of cards, in Tweets or messages on Facebook – you all keep me moving forward. I salute you and give you gratitude.
When I looked at my stats for June 4th., I told Pretty the computer had blipped because there could be no possible explanation for one view each of eight hundred posts I’d made for the past twelve years in a single day other than a malfunction. I found out this week I was wrong – a young woman in Colorado began with my most recent posts and traveled backwards in time to the beginning in 2011. Never have I ever…been more moved. I salute you and say welcome to the family.
Whether you are a recent random reader, never say die-hard follower of many moons or somewhere in between during the past dozen years I’ve been writing, thank you from deep in the heart.
Onward.
