My blog about the blog

My blog is about 50 people away from having 10,000 hits. That may not be a lot to some people but for me it's amazing. Almost a year ago a friend encouraged me to blog what I was posting on Facebook... now I have 2 expat groups that feature my blog and a local magazine has asked me to write for them. I am beyond shocked. Several travel sites follow my blog and my Pinterest. I’m not sure if I’m writing the right stuff, I’m just trying to write for myself, my family and my friends. But along the way, others can enjoy the ride as well if they wish.

Every day here is pretty normal but also pretty amazing. Take for example today. Just a random day that my daughter and I decided to go “Back to school” shopping. But we went to Antwerp. Going to Antwerp requires us to leave The Netherlands and travel to Belgium. I do get pretty excited whenever the lady on my GPS tells me…”You have crossed the border.” But as we’re in the Euro zone now.. There are no checkpoints at the borders. It’s like driving from State to State.

Thought I’d share some of my favorite stories I’ve posted this past 10,000 hits. These are in random order…

I’m always amazed to see who’s reading my blog. I am very thankful to my friends and family for reading what I have to say but find it fascinating and very humbling that so many across the world are tuning in.

So to the next…. Few readers on my way to 10,000… I hope you enjoy. I’ve had a wonderful time finding this new joy in my life
