Almost 50

I need one more follower to make my number a clean 50 people, who read regularly, enjoy my articles and perhaps feel the way I do about living life.

I started this blog at the tail end of 2008 and wondered exactly who would give a crud about what I write and share. Followers are a nice reminder that people are interested. Comments let me know that people are reading.

There have been over 7,000 page views since Blogger started tracking stats for me.

One person told me that blogs are merely brag-fests with pictures. Perhaps they are right. But perhaps not. I write because I have so much to say and I think there might be others trying the same things, attacking the same problems or enjoying the same simple life.

I don't mean to brag. I know I lead a pretty blessed life. Perhaps this blog is less about bragging and more about sharing. What I plant, how I bake, the short cuts I have found. I read other blogs for those reasons, not to hit myself in the head because someone has it better than me or comes up with better ideas.

I almost ended this blog recently. After the move, I wasn't feeling it anymore. My life has changed so dramatically from the vision I had set out to achieve (in 2008)when I started. Part of me felt I wasn't being truthful. That I was hiding something. The truth is, I have evolved. Slowly but surely. Little by little. Day by day. I have changed. My goals, dreams and aspirations change, like everyone else and the blog is a mere reflection of those evolving projects and ideas.

I am glad I didn't do away with this blog. I am glad I can continue to share my journey with you all.

Now...how do I go about getting one more follower?
