Gemini (Photo credit: Justinsanity)
HELLO to all my followers and sometime readers. I am about to hit a real benchmark and I can hardly believe it myself! Wordpress keeps you informed on myriad details about your blog and your posts. Everyday I see how many visitors come to the blog and what the average number of views per person is as well as from what countries the hits are coming. I see which blog posts are the most popular, the number of views per month, and the search engine terms that people type in and end up on my blog.
All this information is useful and to some niche bloggers, it would be essential. Unfortunately for me I never found my niche. I write about my life, my travels, the foods I cook, the movies I see and often post information and research on dozens of totally unrelated things. I post photos of my grandchildren and the moon. I was fortunate enough to have my good friend, Murray Head send me hundreds of photos that I posted on Fab Foto Friday. Sounds a little scattered doesn’t it. I think that describes the mind of a person born on the cusp of Gemini and Taurus. At any given time, there are 3 minds at work with or against one another!
Well here’s where I’m at; I love writing my blog even though my husband and daughter wonder why. I freely admit that my blog like 99% of all blogs is more or less an egocentric stream of consciousness. Over the short life of this blog, I’ve tried various ideas to entice a following because even though I am (supposedly) writing this for myself, don’t think for a minute that I don’t relish seeing the number of hits the blog has each day. I loved Six Word Memoir Monday and may try to reinstate it but I need your input! Conspiracy Theory Wednesday was a fantastic exposeé on the Kennedy Assassination, Top Ten Thursday allows for a wide range of subject matter and Tasty Tidbits Tuesday and Every Day Food are one of my joys.
BUT now I WANT YOU! I am 7 posts short of ONE THOUSAND! WOWIE ZOWIE! I only have to write 7 more posts and I will have reached a real benchmark for myself. I would love it if you would comment and give me some ideas as to what these next 7 posts should be about; Do you want a repeat of one of your favs or do you have a scathingly (or not so scathingly) brilliant idea I can incorporate into a post?
Pretty Please?!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
[…] Countdown To 1000! “Help I Need Someone”… (pbenjay.wordpress.com) […]
My favorite blogs are when you visit your grandchildren.
I almost feel like I’m with you or wish I was a fly on the wall.
I look forward to those every day.
How about a blog on OG, been awhile and I love your little town
Another thought, NYC prepares for the holidays.

You used to be more Taurus than Gemini. I see more Gemini now. I love your writings, especially the trips you take, even the ones around New York. I like the personal side of New York.
It sounds more normal, but exciting than the usual take on New York.
It was fun having you as my BBF when we were in Conn. Write on……..
Love you, Lynne
I just looked at the date on this blog. I think I am a little late in reading it. And you were the one who was sometime late. I am glad you kept writing. Lynne
Oh how the sins of your past revisit! Late to the tennis courts I suspect not to mention Phyllis’ wedding BUT that was unavoidable!!!!!
