warm furry hugs from a puppy in the sunshine
soft tiny fingers and toes curled around my big finger
tasty food and laughter shared with kindred spirits
a clean newly organized surface
a to -do list with delicious check offs on the side
Psalm 138:8

These things encourage me…what encourages you?
Check out a new blog: (in)courage
Here are some good links I found lately:
From Simple Mom: Back to the Basics: 10 Recommended Kitchen Items
From Simple Mom: Back to the Basics: Batch Cooking ( I want to try this!)
Improve Your Posture (I need to do this!)
The site that I used to figure out all the info in the Lurkers Outed post about where my readers are coming from is free. It is called StatCounter.com. You can just register your blog there and then there is some code you paste on your blog (in the CSS or as a text widget).
So I have been perusing statcounter.com to find out how much traffic my blog is getting and from where, and it is quite interesting!
I see that someone has been reading my blog from a Starbucks in Round Rock…..Lindsey perhaps? KarenD?
Robbie must be reading from Australia…Niki in Montana….Leanna in Coppell…mab in NO…Erin in Bastroup….Aunt Kathy or Jenn in Lufkin
It’s fun to see all the locations and try to guess! (If I have somehow breached your security by putting your name and location together, let me know and I will erase it!)
Of all the locations from which people access my blog, some of them I have an idea of who it might be and some I can’t figure out. I would love to know who you are!! So if you are reading this blog from the following places, you should leave a comment and identify yourself!!!
Hobbes, New Mexico…. You read it a lot…who are you? 
Pekin, Illinois (Elizabeth Beck? Jess’s sister?)
Needville, Texas
Raleigh, North Carolina (Judy on vacation?)
Amarillo, Texas
York, Pennsylvania (connected to Keith or Missy?)
Ireland (Sarah?)
Jacksonville, Florida (Jess on vacation?)
And I am curious about who is reading my blog in the UAE??
Wherever you are from, I am glad you found it and keep reading!
