HI everyone!! My 2nd year of blogging is almost over and I almost hit the goal of posting every day. I posted 266 posts this year 🙂 My blog has never been about the numbers, but it is fun to see how numbers have grown from last year. Wanted to thank my faithful readers and my top readers who left the most comments throughout the year. Yup it lists that to, so if you want your name listed next year, you know what you have to do 😉 No matter if you read and comment or just read, I truly appreciate you following me and helping me to enjoy my hobby! Look forward to you continuing to follow me in the New Year and we will see if we can break the records from this year! HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!!!! May you have fun and safe time tonight celebrating as we say goodbye to 2015 and welcome in 2016 and all the new opportunities it holds!!
Thought of some interesting tidbits to add. My day that had the most views was almost the exact day from last year! They both were in mid September. Apparently September is a month where people don’t have anything else to do, except to read blogs. LOL!
My most popular post was from my “Anything Goes” series. I need to get back to that, so this is where you all come in! I need suggestions! My “Anything Goes” posts were based on 3 words or a subject that readers would give me. My First Crush was the most popular post of that series! It is just so steamy! NOT 🙂
This statistic made me laugh! A blog post that I did just for fun, made it to my list of the Top 5 most viewed posts! My Napoleon vs.Monty post. It was done as a joke, due to a debate that arose while playing cards with a AWESOME couple 🙂 So you all can be proud that you inspired one of my most popular posts, even tho Monty did win 🙂 To the readers that missed the post and are curious, feel free to go back and read it and put your comments in as to which movie rates the best!
Another statistic that I really like is how many other countries my blog reaches. That is the great thing about the internet! I have faithful readers from Africa, Malaysia, Greece,etc. Even from the desert of Sudan. There lives an awesome blogger and faithful reader that I am so glad I met! I am thankful for each and every one of you from whereever you call home! HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,900 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
Yay!! It’s so much reading your blog Joy. It’s like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. And you still made me smile even with a review post 😄

AWW thanks dear friend! You will have to go back and read what I added to the post 🙂 I had posted the first time too quickly and got to thinking more when I was out running a errand so added just a little more to it. Have a GREAT DAY and thanks for bringing sunshine into my world also! ❤

Also, I’ve been thinking a lot about these words for this series and so far I’ve come up with – Mars, cowboy, and zest. For when you get back to those stories (which are awesome btw). 🙂
