today marks 10 years since I started blogging…

and when I look at my stats, it tells me I have reached 500 followers… wow…

it also means that ten years have passed since my beloved left me… ten years…

just yesterday a delivery arrived and the box smelled of cigarette smoke… haven’t smelled that for years and it reminded me of him, as he was a smoker…

I miss him all the time, but I also know he would be proud of how I have grown over these years…

this photo includes a wooden angel that he made for me;-)…

ten years…

just reached 350 followers on WordPress…

laughed the other day when a friend introduced me and said that I had 3000 followers… really made me giggle, lol… 300… 3000… very close;-)…

it has taken six years to reach that number…

had me thinking of the changes over that time… how the blog has gone from information on what to do when you become a widow/widower to my daily life…

my life really has been blessed… as I continue to put on those big girl pants…

this morning I spent time using the new computer…

the pictures are all in one folder which I have started to go through looking for duplicates… so happy they are all in the same place… I used to have to go searching through a number of drives to find some of them…

while I was sorting out various bookmarks I noticed that I now have 300 followers… this is much more visible viewed on the computer… kind of giggled because the number has been hovering just under for quite some time…

also, I’ve noticed many people or organizations celebrating ten or fifteen thousand followers… makes my 300 seem rather inconsequential…

but it made me happy…

shortly before that I had watched beautiful sun dogs out the back… first ones I’ve seen this season…

been looking at my stats recently…

as of today I have 280 followers… 270 on WordPress and 10 via email…

sort of fun to review the insights and see how many people are checking it out…

it is also interesting to see where the viewers come from…

kind of amazing to think of people across the world checking out what you’ve written, lol…

I started writing in December of 2012… been a real journey… sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday and other times a decade ago…

and so we move forward… those big girl pants…

how exciting… I have 254 followers… 246 are WordPress and 8 are email… pretty cool…

last week I took the plunge and moved to the next level on my site… got a domain name… a tech friend sat beside me as I clicked on the various buttons to complete the upgrade… always makes me nervous that I might not understand their questions, or choose the wrong option…

  
it was easy with someone sitting beside me, lol…

been reviewing the stats and am always awed by the number of countries that people who read the blog come from…

 in January they came from nine different countries… what a wide reach we have as bloggers…

also good to see which titles draw the most views…

  

very early in the process I decided on using single word titles… at the same time I made the decision to have at least one picture and use lower case… and ellipses…

continue to learn new things on this journey of discovery…

been getting a few more followers lately…

each one makes me so happy… still haven’t figured out how to thank people for following me… need to study up a bit to see how to use some of the widgets available I think…  


have over 230 followers as some follow by email… 

always fun to check the stats… for a while I couldn’t see them on my phone, but eventually I figured it out… 

these days I rarely use the computer to check and write my posts… 

was just talking with someone who also mentioned that they do everything on their phone… nothing on their laptop or computer…

I still use the computer for a few things, particularly if I have pictures on my camera that are going to be part of my post… 

was speaking with someone recently and we talked about what makes one post receive more likes than another… we didn’t come to any conclusion… seems like something that I don’t imagine as that interesting gets a lot of attention and something else that I think will get lots of attention, gets very little…

thank you for liking and/or following me… I appreciate it:-)…

kind of excited to see that I have 223 followers…

in 2015 I have had 2,251 visits but the most interesting thing is that people from ten countries have read one of my blogs…

  
not big numbers if you compare them to others, but big numbers to me, lol…

getting likes and comments and new followers certainly gives me energy…

always fascinating which posts get the most response… I might write something and think it isn’t particularly interesting and then have lots of activity… another time I will feel I’ve written something which everyone will resonate with and it gets no interest at all…

started out as a method to share how I was dealing with the loss of my husband and now it is more general, although everything I do is really about moving forward on my own without my beloved…

this bouquet, in the living room this morning, reminds me of how he always made sure I had fresh flowers…
