This morning I took a walk with Mike Fiveson, author of Mike’s Look at Life. We met in the quirky town of Ft. Lupton, Colorado. The town nor the image opportunities disappointed.

Cheers to you Mike!

Of course there was no one there but this was now two cryptic notes less than 20 minutes apart in arrival and neither with a claimed author.

Last night I was looking for answers about a lack of numbers and what I discovered was a world of support beyond anything I had imagined. WordPress bloggers are the most giving people of time and encouragement I have encountered in 41 years on this planet and I want to thank you all for really rallying behind me.

Last evening with 4 hours to go in the blog day I was at the lowest number of hits I have had since January for a day. By Midnight I had the second most hits for a day in the history of my blog. WOW! This was because of all of you who enjoy my work and frankly enjoy the comment conversations. Isn’t that the fun in all of this? I feel like we all play character rolls and our comments offer insight into who we are and why we believe what…
