It was with great trepidation that I started this blog a couple of years ago, well almost three years ago now and at first I drew little attention. As I developed the blog and gained confidence in writing I have been blessed by an ever-increasing readership for which I am so grateful. Not all of my readers make comment but I am happy that they read my pages in the first place. I have tried to vary my content as much as possible and no subject is taboo, for we all must have an opinion on things in the world whether they affect us directly or not. I write spontaneously, that is as I think of a subject I will write about it as I see it. The news has an influence on what I write about as do the subjects of other people’s blogs or situations I might find myself in. Having said that, or should I write, written that, I find that in most situations people are interested in my personal life more than anything else. That to me is most gratifying and I welcome such interest for I have the same attitude to other people, I am interested in them as people more than what they write about other things. I can safely say that I have a good readership, not just in numbers, which is continually growing, but in who responds to me through this media. I hope I do the same when I comment on other blogs, make the recipients happy that I respond to them. The Internet is a wonderful tool for bring people together but it must be used wisely. It is so easy to offend people for as it is written, the pen is mightier than the sword. I hope that as each of us connects in this way that we shall be careful in what we say. I hope this year will prove fruitful in the building of relationships whether in we agree on things or not for we are all different. May I take this opportunity to thank all my readers for the fact they read my meanderings and especially when they comment and thereby make contact with me. Bless you all. I hope I can continue to keep you interested and entertained this coming year. Added to this I do have another, more specialised blog which is solely based upon the Christian faith for those who may be interested. The relevant link is over on the right. There is a further Minkyweasel presence on YouTube and again, the link is over on the right.
