Sunday was International left-handers day…
made me laugh as I thought about the cute magnet that my son-in-law got for me a number of years ago…
it is certainly one of my favourites;-)…
apparently both my beloved and I were gifted…
sad about the kids, lol…

this anniversary of my beloved’s death has been harder than usual…
not sure if it is having someone else in the house, going through so many boxes and letting go of things… maybe it’s been seeing his writing on papers as I’ve sorted through files… maybe it is realizing I’ve been without him for a quarter of the time we were together…
you’d think after eleven years it would be less difficult…
whatever the reason, I’ve been struggling…

Thursday marked 10 years since I started blogging…
and when I looked at my stats, they tell me I have reached 500 followers… wow…
it also means that ten years have passed since my beloved left me…
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…

today WordPress congratulated me on 50,000 views…
that was kind of exciting…
so I dove in and found a few numbers…
as of the end of the year, I had written 3333 posts… there were 3,287 days in that period… basically one post every day… how cool is that…
and I have used 482,698 words…
that works out to around 145 words per post…
interesting information;-)…

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…
