Twenty Thousand Bouquets of Gratitude!


Back when I was a kid (decades before the internet), my best friend and I would sometimes get bored. We'd joke that for excitement, we could go to the grocery store deli, and watch the chicken turn on the rotisserie.  Yes, we were that bored. Although, come to think of it, it might have been a novel pasttime.  Our mothers always had homecooked meals on the table, and neither one of us had ever had BBQ chicken from a rotisserie.  We also joked about going down the hill, to the corner gas station, to watch the numbers rolling up on the gas pumps.

I've been watching numbers climbing this week...19,500 then 19,850...19,975...19,999...then, minutes ago it happened. This little blog, Widow's Endorphins reached 20-thousand views!  Now, that's exciting!  Way more exciting than watching chickens spinning on a rotisserie - live, or on Youtube!


Twenty thousand views from all over the world.  I still get a kick out of seeing where you are all from.  Even if you're the only person in your country reading, and looking at the photographs, your country is briefly highlighted on my map.

Widow's Endorphins has had blog readers from A-Z:  Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany...all the way to (New) Zealand.  Canada, America, and Russia have had the largest numbers of readers, however, readers in Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, India, Ukraine, Argentina and Brazil are regular visitors to the site.  Whether you're from the United States, the United Kingdom, or the United Arab Emirates, we are all united in our love for flowers and photography!

Thank you, for making it happen!  Widow's Endorphins has come a long way, since it's early days as a wee blog.  WE couldn't have done it without you.  I am truly grateful to each of you, for sharing the blog with others, and helping to make it more popular than I ever dreamed it would be.

Sending these virtual bouquets of roses to each one of you, with my deepest gratitude!
 

The 20-thousandth view occured at 3:40pm Eastern Daylight Time.
