I'm finally home after a long day, set up with my stuff on the porch. Tired. I'm not often tired. I'll hang out here for a while...there's probably about 15 minutes of daylight left.

I was commenting on someone's blog recently about sitemeters. I used to check mine every day, or more than once every day. I was happiest when I had a lot of visitors, and a little let down when I didn't. When Andrew put a blurb
about me and a link in his sidebar, my numbers increased. I felt a little popular, on a very small scale. After a while, my name settled further down on his list, and my numbers decreased. And I was a little dejected. Pretty silly, huh? I rarely look at my sitemeter anymore, because it doesn't matter. I'm so fortunate to have the friends I've made here, to be part of what I consider a fantastic circle of friends, that the numbers mean nothing. Or almost nothing :) I love getting comments, and I thank all of you who take the time to leave a 'hello.' And that's my thoughts on the sitemeter subject. And I'll probably check it as soon as I sign off.
