On May 15, 2011 I began my first blog. My intention was to write a short account with a minimum of one hundred words every day. While I came close (350 entries) I did not make my goal. The excuses: it was difficult to have internet access while traveling in Turkey. There were also days that, due to various conditions, the mind drew a blank. I have since learned to forgive myself and go to bed.
Some of the blog entries have been incorporated into my poems. It is also quite satisfying to know that friends have been reading and enjoying the random topics. The readership (if we can trust the statistic counter) has increased from less than ten people a day to consistently over one hundred in the last month.
Today marks the closing of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. I want to say thank you, readers, whoever and wherever you are. Thank you for dropping by, taking a look, before you go on to the rest of your day.
