I Love Monday

I am grateful that I have a job to go to today. I am grateful there will be people there I actually love. I am grateful that I am an "exempt" employee, and don't have to punch a time clock, because, man! am I going to be late! I got stuck in traffic coming home from the gym. I had a good run, and one of these minutes, I am going to get out of these stinky running clothes and get ready for work!

I had my 10,000th visitor last night at 11:53 p.m. It was someone from Seattle, domain name Qwest.net. It was no one with whom I am familiar. So I guess no prize. Dang it!

Again, I will thank all of you bloggers who share your experience, strength, and hope. I cherish each of your blogs and look forward to visiting daily. I am so impressed by the quality of our sharing and the respect with which we treat each other - for the most part.

I made a quick trip to Seattle last night to get on a netcafe computer (anonymous domain) so I could be your 10000th visitor.
Congrats.
Go to work.

Great for you 10,000 hits I would like to see my website hit that someday. I made up for my short post today.

I really like the quote. I think I will just become a pupil, again.

Ok you techies, how are you counting such things?

I have no idea how many posts I have made or visitors.

Actually, I don't care, as long as you guys are out there posting, I get to share in your experience, strength and hope.

Good to be around today, no travel for five days, so maybe I will be blogging regular like.

Rick, keep coming back. Blogging is a wonderful resource. We have a great community here. It is easy to get your own blog - there is a link on the top of every blogger page. (I sent you an e-mail yesterday)

Mike,
At the bottom of my blog, there is a little square symbol, that is my site meter. If you go there, and click "home" it will tell you how to get a site meter. I love seeing how people get to my blog.
