The Blog odometer just passed 60,000 hits. I'm stunned.
Five years ago we started this little blog as a way to stay in touch with family and friends as we began our "unplugged adventure"; Connie and Glen on the road. Somewhere along this long journey, we developed a readership. And the blog evolved. It became a vehicle through which I practice my growing enjoyment of writing. It became a pathway by which people, who read Broken Open or who watched the Oprah show that we were on, could Google us and contact us . It has been amazing.
I have the ability to track where the hits are coming from, not the identity of the people visiting the blog, but their locations and the number of visits. People from around the globe, but mostly North America. Some people leave comments and we appreciate that. Others do not and we wish they would. For instance the person in Moscow, Russia and the person near Pottstown, PA, and the person near Mountain View, CA and a hundred other people who hit the blog on a regular basis. I'd like to know who you are. I'd like to hear your stories.
Because that is what this blog is; a collection of stories. That is what our lives are. Stories are how we learn. They are how we teach. They are how we grow and what we leave behind.
It has been an amazing five years and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Hope to hear from you. Thanks for reading our stories.
