It’s time to say thank you

It’s Sunday afternoon ( 4:00pm to be precise) here in the Land Down Under, eyes down everyone ( no I’m not playing Bingo) look to the left, right, up, or in the middle, depending where you live.

It’s been a little while since I said Thank – You.
My fans, followers have reached an amazing 227 and over 12,000 ‘hits’ (probably many that had lost their way from the tags I placed) but nonetheless, I am bowled over by that amount. For those of you that have a gazillion, be proud of your accomplishment. For those who have just begun your blogging journey, I wish you luck and happiness at being able to share your words. You will meet some amazingly talented and lovely folk.

As much as I love to write, I think it only fair, that now and then we should thank those that follow us (my thoughts only). I could sit at home and scribble my ramblings into my journal, but would I be satisfied with that? Everyone likes a pat on the back and recognition for what they do. Having a site whereby people can follow you (obviously because they enjoy what they read or they wouldn’t otherwise), is my encouragement to continue. There are days when my brain is frozen (yes I know – doesn’t happen often) but meeting challenges and prompts on various sites, or coming up with an idea from reading another post,  or simply having an idea in my head that I need to share gives me such an internal buzz. I love it, we all do or we wouldn’t have started in this realm.

Knowing that people enjoy (hopefully) what I do,  brings a smile to my dial…. like this       🙂

‘so ..yeah thanks heaps’

To start with none
then see one
and gradually increase
stirs up many emotions
in liddle’ bitty me

Some may think I dribble
and I’m really very touched
for you to hang on in there
I thank you all so much

Simply Hello

This is how I feel…. sad but true…. a fact of every day life. I haven’t posted for a while due to a new job and the brain draining of having to learn new things at my age. Which prompted this blog in so many directions (well at least 2). The strange thing is I read a post from http://irishkatie.wordpress.com and she had written a very similar blog as to what was invading my head space the last few days.

So to be as brief as possibly, for those of you that are interested. I think I may have over posted myself (vision of me in an envelope being shoved into a post box) but even as I write this I feel I will contradict… **Sighs** I started blogging as a release for my writing. I purchased Journals which sadly sit in a drawer in the coffee table. The blogging was/is my outlet for my feelings..my thoughts…my incessant desire to write. How interesting are they (I mean really) to anyone but myself? Is it because I seek praise when writing? Do I long for comments about what I have written? Or am I reading too much into this? I can’t help but think is this an ‘ego’ situation?

I have made virtual friends (I hope) since starting this, I enjoy reading the blogs that I follow, and I do receive satisfaction from comments on pieces that I have written, but I think maybe “less is more”? Can anyone see what I am trying to say here? Have I been overly abundant with my posts? Even with that question I feel that I am asking followers or writers to say “No no Jenny you haven’t”…and please that is not why I asked it.

I’m at a round-a-bout…or more-so a T intersection do I turn left and slow down, or turn right and write the same as I was?

Or do I just say to hell with it, I shall write what I want when I want, if others read, like, follow so be it?

Does anyone else have this dilemma?

In closing because this was going to be brief (and when you’re a talker like I am it’s tough to pull the reins in) I’m tired, as I said, new job and my head is spinning trying to learn the new procedures, computer programs and what the job entails. I am my own worst enemy…I frustrate myself for not learning what is to be learnt in a matter of days since starting and it makes me disbelieve myself and what I am capable of.

I have probably bored every one by now so I shall end. What ever comments (if any) are made about this post I will be interested… though I am not writing it for anyone to respond.

I guess I am searching for the …shall I continue answer (knowing in my heart I love doing this and will continue even though my “stats” wont be high this day or the next) and I am doing it too please me as it is what I love doing. Now I have to think of ‘tags’ that will attract the readers…. and I question even that should it be so..
