50,000 Views

I really don’t know what to say, which is odd, because most of my blog posts are north of 1000 words.

Yesterday my blog reached 50,000 views all-time. When I sat down and launched this blog on June 23, 2013, I didn’t know what to expect. If anything, I expected no one to ever read it.

And yet, people do read what I write for some strange reason.

50,000 views! That’s like a whole stadium of people. (Thank you, Barb, for that line). I can’t wrap my head around it. I know some other blogs have way more views than that and this is peanuts to them, but to me this is overwhelming.

Heck, I was overwhelmed by my first 20 views. I thought I was famous.

Seriously though, thank you all from the bottom of my heart and the tips of my fingers. Whether you’ve been here for three years or three days, I truly appreciate you taking the time to read the ridiculous words that I write.

You could be anywhere in the world, doing anything you want, and for some reason you decided to stop by my blog. You have no idea what that means to me.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

You’re all incredible, and I hope I’ve been able to make you smile, laugh, cry, think, shake your head, blow your nose, or feel inspired. Because you guys have made me do all of those things, and more.

Thank you so much.

Your Captain,

Paul
