Small is good

Sometimes I lament that my blog is small.

I've been blogging a long time -- I have a few followers -- they wax and wane over the years.  I have a lot of "followers" -- but I doubt most of the read me any more -- but rather have me up there as a memory.

the topics have shifted greatly over the past few years (it's been nearly 3 for this blog and was a year 1/2 for the other blog) -- so it limits readership.

I have good friends here that I would miss mightily -- and as much as I sometimes think I'll stop blogging completely -- I never do

I'm drawn back again and again

today I was reading over at Nilla - and I had cause to be grateful for being small - as one of her commenters felt the need to be a bit critical -- essentially -- "My master would never be so mean to me, but I'm happy it floats your boat" sort of way

a complisult - (insult wrapped in a compliment)

and I thought about how seldom I have that here.

not because I'm in any way superior -- but because it's much more intimate over here.

I want to thank you all for being such great readers
nah

for being my friends and family

as I come to the end
or at least as I can see the end of this crazy adventure

and the beginning of the next adventure

I am heartily glad that you all come here to pat me on the back and encourage me.
and smile with me

and

sometimes shed a tear with me.

Thank you all.
