Who Are You?

I awoke in the middle of the night with a strange thought about who reads my blog.  I don't really know how many views I get a day or perhaps a month.  I probably am followed by what is known as  browser robots.  So, who am I really writing to.  I started the blog in 2009 and my intention was to journal about Laney.  I always liked writing and Laney opened the door for my journal.  She gave me adventures to write about and an outlet for stress.    She has been a great gift to our family and is more than often the topic of our conversations.  She has put a smile on our face many days when we needed comfort.   So who am I writing to, other than myself ?

If  I publish this blog post it will be number 400.  Out of the 400, there are 324 that I published and a few that I lost to cyber land.  I never dreamed that I would be writing for this long.   Every time I get on the blog site  I see Laney's sweet face looking at me.  She is resting right now beside me now.  I wonder if she is known by people or just by browser robots.

I have spent countless hours letting go of stress by writing and practicing gratitude.  I have received 19 comments over the past 6 years.  The last one was in November of 2014.  I wonder in the vast world who is reading my blog.  Who are you ? 

Life is full of uncertainty and social media has allowed us to communicate with people all over the world.  So am I really writing to myself?  The stats that are posted on my stat page are coming from around the world or perhaps here in the US.  I guess it does not matter who reads the blog.  What does matter is that I have enjoyed every minute of it.  I hope that if people are reading that perhaps I have helped them in some small way.  Perhaps they smiled at something I blogged or started their own journal. 

Well here it goes I'll click publish for number 400.  If you read this have a blessed day filled with smiles and flowers.  

Life is beautiful !!
