Six Months In

I made it!...more or less.  Six months of at least one blog per month, excepting June which I missed by about 15 minutes.  My own fault, of course, since I had the whole month to do it in :)  But I'll count it as my June post, just for my own score keeping.  This beats my previous attempt by 3 months.  And I actually managed 2 or more per month for most months, with the most being 4, bringing my total number of posts this time around to 14, which is two more than my first attempt.  Grand total of 26 posts; still manageable for anyone wanting to catch up ;)  Not that this matters much to any of you, more just encouraging for me.
In these few months I've learned a lot - besides just that I can do this.  Writing on a regular basis is good for me.  Even if what I'm writing has nothing to do with the craziness of life at the time, it seems to ease the chaos in my head.  Therapeutic some might call it.  I think maybe it just gets out some of the thoughts running around my brain, thus making more room for other things :)  Whatever the reason it's something that will keep me going with or without responses.
Unfortunately, one of my hopes for this blog was that it might spark some thoughts and conversations.  However, beyond a handful of comments from a few people nothing much has sparked.  Apparently conversation isn't my strong suit, even in writing ;)  If anyone has tips or comments that might help in this area, please do share (really, please...I'm begging you - share! ;)
So, moving on.  New things coming up (hopefully):
     1. Something that may help garner readers is that you can sign up to receive emails of posts.  In the left column where it says "Mail Call!" just type in your email address, click the "Submit" button and follow the instructions.  I've tested it and all you'll get is an email for any day I post.  So if I do two posts in one day you only get one email.  The email shows the blog title, the post title, and a few sentences of the post.  Both the blog title and the post title can be clicked on to get to the blog. That's it.
     2.  Having easily achieved my at least one post per month for the most part I'm upping the ante to at least five posts per month.  But for those getting emails I'll try to keep it to four days per month.  Four of these posts will be parts of two regular features I'd like to do on alternating weeks: "Songs to Share" and "Words to Share".  The fifth will be my at least one post of before.  As always it will be a jumble of whatever is on my mind - some serious, some silly, some pointless, some pointed.
However you have supported me, thank you.  This is fun for me, so it's encouraging when people take an interest :)
