1000!!!!!!

Today we celebrate our 1000th visitor to this blog. Why, it seems like just yesterday when I would click the refresh button over and over just to make it look as though people were visiting. But, as time went on, I was wracked with a sense of guilt and false advertising and so decided to give up on this blog altogether.

So, I said my goodbyes and swore I would never again allow myself to enter into such a self-confidence-ruining trap. But, like all addicts, I couldn't stay away. Of course, I told myself that I could stop anytime that I wanted and I was completely in control. But looking back now, I can see that I was in fact not in control, I was being controlled by the cursed need for the hit counter to continue changing.

Now you may be saying to yourself "Why didn't she just not go into the site?" or some such condescending and cruel critisism. But the fact of the matter is that if you have never been down that dark road then you can not possible understand.

So there I was heading for destruction and then something amazing happened. Something that changed my life forever. I received a comment. Did you hear me? A comment. I received a congratulatory, complimentary and caring comment. I couldn't believe it, I thought someone must be playing a cruel trick on me and so I went to the dark place (my blog) to see it for myself. And there I was face with another surprise. The hit counter had change. As in, increased. Without my help. Suddenly I felt a warmth spread through me, beginning from my heart. Somebody had visited my sight...Somebody had left me a comment...Somebody cared.

From that point on things took an upward turn. Now, instead of checking my blog with a feeling of dread, I looked forward to seeing what new comments had been left and how many people had visited. I began to have inspirations as to what to write, which only encouraged more hits. Before I knew it we had hit 500. Then 700. Then 900. And finally, the big one...

1000

So thank you all who have been kind enough to visit, and a greater thanks to those who have taken 30 seconds out of your day to leave comments. Its people like you who make this world a better place.

Oh, and thank you Mum and Dad, this blog wouldn't be possible without you. (Not to sure why but thats what all the big stars say).
