"I Whistle a Happy Tune"

Well, I would, if I could whistle!  But I can't whistle worth a toot, so I'll just tell you why I'm feeling good today.  Drum roll, please..... this is my 200th post!  WooHoo!!  Congratulations to me!

I wasn't sure at the beginning if I would stick with this.  But here it is, proof positive that I value all that blogging brings to me, because I keep doing it!  How about that?

My first 100 posts took me approximately 33 weeks to accomplish.  The second 100 posts only took 27 weeks!  Hey, I'm writing more than I used to.  Even though some days it feels like only drivel spills out of my head, the stats say that 1,794 visits have been made to my blog.  That doesn't mean that 1800 different people have visited; but what it means is that SOMEBODY (or several somebodies) has gone to my page to see if I had posted something lately!  How cool is that?  Nearly 1,800 visits!!  Wow!  Even if it were to turn out that all 1,800 visits were made by only 5 people, that would still be cool!  But it is definitely more than 5 people.

For those of you who check several times everyday (that would include Little Sis and Ratchlet, among others), I wish I wrote as often as you check!!  I'm not an every day kind of writer but I do feel bad that you take the time to visit when I haven't written anything new!   Keep checking though, sometimes I actually manage to post several days in a row.

For those of you who love to see relevant photos accompanying posts, I'm sorry I'm just not very good with pictures!

For those of you who read to the very end of my looooonnnggg  posts, and yet still come back to visit, thanks for your patience and stick-to-it-iveness!!   I try to write short, but it always turns out long!  It's a character fault.....

No matter if you visit here everyday or only occasionally, I am grateful to each of you for contributing to my feeling of accomplishment about blogging.

Thank you all!
