100 Posts!

This is my 100th post on this blog!

My blog has existed for about a year and a half and I consider it a pretty good accomplishment to have 100 posts now.  That comes out to about one post every 5.5 days.  The topic, length, and quality of the posts have varied and so have my readers.  Thanks to Blogger statistics I can tell you my blog has been viewed more than 3,200 times.  My blog has been viewed across the US and all over the world: El Salvador, Canada, Germany, Russia, India, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Denmark, Singapore, Russia, Kuwait, and Guatemala.  Makes me feel pretty special and important that people that I don't even know are finding and reading my blog.  But mostly I like knowing that people I do know are reading my blog.

So, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers.  Without you, there wouldn't be much point for my blog to exist.  I love writing, but I love writing even more when I have readers.  Knowing I have readers motivates me to write and helps me write better than I would if I were just writing for myself.  And I love having readers who engage with what I write and then tell me how my words and thoughts have affected them.

I'd especially like to thank my most loyal readers: those of you who immediately "like" links to my blog on Facebook, those who have sent me responses to my blog posts, those who have forwarded or shared my posts, and those who have eagerly (and sometimes impatiently) awaited my blog posts.  You know who you are and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And now... prepare yourselves for the next 100 posts.
