My decision.

As you know, at the end of the year, I was really feeling devastated by the lack of people who appeared to be interested in my blog anymore. I was putting ALOT of faith into the counter. (By the way, some of you have asked me where it is. Go to MY INFORMATION on the right side of the blog and click on it. At the very bottom of the information, you will find the counter. As of right now, January 2nd, it is sitting on 970. That means that since Summer when I began writing it, the blog has been opened 970 times. That's NOT to say that that is how many readers for the blog. Honestly, I do not know how many people actually read my blog. That brings something else to mind. At the entrance into my blog, you will see a list of members or followers. People who have signed up to follow the blog, are automatically notified as soon as I update the blog. So, for those of you who want to know the "LATEST", earliest, please sign up. That will actually help you PLUS, I will know who all reads my blog.

If I had decided to close down my blog, I would not be passing these tidbits on to you. Sooo, my answer is "YES, I am going to continue my blog as long as there are people out there who want to read it. LOL!!!"

So many of you contacted me via THE blog, telephone, in person, email, FACEBOOK and through my family. I cannot express to you just how touched I was by your kindness and love that you shared with me! (It made me feel kinda special. Ha! Ha!) Many of those people opened their hearts to me so it is now time for me to put everything out there on the table so that my previous dilemna is fully understood.

There are a few people out there who genuinely love me and care so much that they do not want me to be hurt in any way. It had come to their attention that there were people out there who click onto my blog just so that they can get information to make fun of me when they gather around their tables at night. No names of the involved people were passed on to me. Repeatedly, I have tried to understand why someone would want to do that to me or anyone else. And then... why would they be so cruel that they would take that information on to my mother and sisters??? Yes, folks, they actually had the guts to go to my family and make fun of my writings to their faces!!! That took some real courage or just proved how mean and evil-spirited they really are. When all is said and done, that is really the main reason that I wanted to get out of my blogging days. Though I totally LOVE getting to connect with you all, the bottom line was that I did not want my family to be crucified by whatever I wrote.

My mother and sisters are just the GREATEST!!! Every night, I thank our Good Lord, for blessing me with them. I hate to think of what my life would be without them in it!!! All three of them are extremely intelligent(me??? I'm the family dummy.) They have WONDERFUL personalities and MANY people respect each of them tremendously! I remember asking my parents when I was still a girl if there was any chance that I had been switched with someone else's baby at the hospital. Honestly, I am WAY behind them in every way possible. At this point, I am so far behind them that I fear I will never be able to catch up with them no matter what I do. LOL!!!

Bottom line. I am going to keep writing whatever I think I should in my blog. If by chance, you are one of the people who has attacked my mom and sisters about my blog, I beg you to stop reading it or at least have some common courtesy to leave my family out of it! You should be ashamed of yourself but I actually find that to be doubtful.

If, at any time, you want to make comments to me, PLEASE DO!!! I love hearing from you! If there is any information that you want me to pass on through my blog, just let me know. As long as it will not hurt anyone and is not something that all ages can read about, I will be happy to post it! I know that there are people from grade school ages on up who read my blog. I never want to offend any one!

Much love and well wishes for all of you!!! And...THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO CONTACTED ME!!! You'll absolutely NEVER know just how much your words helped me!!!

Happy New Year!!!
