Sometimes you have to pause and look around and reflect back over the ground you have travelled so far.
I did that a few minutes ago as I was looking at my WordPress stats and thinking "what the heck am I going to blog about this week?"
I pulled up the stats map that shows the "all time" view of where in the world my blog has been read. (Yes, I know that some of these could quite easily be bot pings but don't burst my bubble please).
The very fact that most countries around the globe are pink and some are red, indicating a lot of hits, blows me away.
Why would someone in Australia or Japan or Brazil even find my blog in among the millions of blog posts out there?
The very thought that people in all of these countries have taken time out of their busy lives to even glance at my blog fills me with warmth and pride.
An indie author/blogger's journey can feel quite lonely at times. Seeing the "likes" notifications and the occasional comment on my blog posts helps to make it much less lonely so thank you to those who have taken the time to hit like or comment. It really is appreciated.
I do try to keep the content on here varied. It was a conscious decision when I started this blog that I didn't want tied down to one genre or theme. It would have been all too easy to fill it each week with photos of my cats but so far I have largely resisted that temptation.
So I guess that this week's blog is really just a simple thank you to each and every one of you who read my ramblings each week and keep coming back for me.
Something that would really make my day ...my week...my months...even my year would be if someone from Greenland stumbling across this blog.....oh well, a girl can dream
