Someone Is Reading This Blog!

On the right side of my blog is a Clustrmap that shows me the locations of the people who are reading my blog. It always cheers me up when I see a new dot appear on the map. There is also another counter under that showing me the number of people who have been visiting me. I look forward to seeing the score going up and up. If I am not wrong, my current average is around 20-25 visitors per day.

On the weekend, a nice lady read my blog and left me two comments. Finally, someone did not only read my blog but came back to read again and she actually bothered to leave me a comment twice! I was over the moon. I started this blog around June this year. I waited and waited to see if anyone that I didn’t know would respond to what I had written. After nearly 5 months of blogging, I thought that my entries were probably too boring for anyone to want to read them. Then this lady came along and commented twice!

I was so happy today that I couldn’t help but to tell the soon to be 2 year old Bree. Okay, she is too young to know what a blog is. So, I got down to her level. I told her that I wrote some stories and someone liked them. I didn’t think she understood what I said but she was listening and watching attentively while munching on her vegemite sandwich. After finishing her cherry tomatoes, Bree said, “@#*-@#* is happy.” She may not understand what I told her but it was clear that my happiness was written all over my face!

From just two comments, I am encouraged to keep blogging. I am entertaining the idea of focusing more on my charges’ progress. There are a couple of categories that I do not feel entirely comfortable with and am thinking of altering or deleting them. I will put more thought into revamping this blog after submitting my next assignment (due at the end of next week). Since I have no units to study in the next study period plus my annual holidays, I will have plenty of time for some blog improvement.
