Blog world is most definitely a very interesting and unique place. I think it’s funny when I meet someone who reads my blog that I don’t know (not that this happens often, it’s happened maybe three times) and the first thing they ask me is, “I feel like such a stalker, but do you care if I read your blog?” I’m always very gracious (at least I hope so), but what I would like you to know is that if I didn’t want you reading my blog, I wouldn’t have it on the world wide web for everyone and their mom to read. You catch my drift?
Whether we know each other or not, you are totally welcome here! I love blogging and don’t plan on stopping it any time soon and love meeting new friends through this little world. However, I’m always really intrigued to see who does read my blog.
Between my sitemeter, google reader and some other things I have a small idea of how many folks read it, but I don’t know a lick about who you are.
When I started blogging, which will be four years in January, I think I had three readers that consisted of my BFF’s. I don’t even think my mom read back then because she probably didn’t know how to get to it. Anyway, I never started blogging to gain readers, but I have to admit, it is fun to get comments from people I don’t know that resonate with me on this or that. You make blogging even more fun than it already is and for you and I am thankful. I mean it! This blog has been way more of a blessing to me than anything else.
So for fun, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’ve never commented or you always comment, let’s play a little Q&A game. I ask you a questions and you give me answers. Listen, there are some blogs I read that I’ve never, ever commented on, so don’t feel weird. De-lurking really is delightful.
1) What is your name?
2) Where do you live?
3) What do you do?
4) Have we ever met?
5) Do we have something in common? (Ex. Ministry, single, tall, likes chocolate, singing, do you listen to songs over and over again…you know…anything!)
6) For fun, what has been your favorite vacation or favorite place to travel?
De-lurk away and thank you for stopping by. It will be really fun to hear from you!
Happy Wednesday!
