Delovely x 1500

I’m feeling the LOVE.

Not quite sure how to say this with out sounding like I’m tooting my own horn, but I sincerely want to THANK every one who has been stopping by ritaLOVEStoWRITE this past month and a half, all 1,500 of you! I hit that benchmark today, and I’m pretty much in shock. I wasn’t really sure if any one would be reading.

I especially wish to thank those of you who FOLLOW the blog to catch my Thought of the Day and other posts, and those of you who have left comments.

A special nod goes to Lynn Reynolds who got me started. Lynn gave me all kinds of advice, ideas and encouragement.

Writing every day has been a great creative outlet and mental exercise. I’ve learned a lot about the people I’ve featured on Thought of the Day …and I’ve learned a lot about myself along the way.

So thanks everybody. Keep reading. Keep “Liking.” And please consider “Following” along.

Cheers,

Rita

Oh, and full disclosure, I don’t have 1500 followers — oh, my that WOULD be something. I have 1500 hits. Which, for a month and half, is pretty awesome. IMHO

  Thank you for reading. If you have any suggestions for Thought of the Day please let me know. For example, I know you are US History buff, If you’ve got a favorite US President and know their B-Day let me know and I’ll feature them. Cheers, Rita

    I always enjoy reading about Grant, but his birthday isn’t til April. Something a bit more sooner that I’m interested in would be one of the Titanic Deck Officer: Henry Tingle Wilde (Sep.), Herbert Pitman (Nov.), Harold Godfrey Lowe (Nov.), James Paul Moody (Aug.). But I’ll take any history you publish 😀
