Feeling the luuurve

I got just one Valentine's card this year: from my unwilling 10 year old son.






I'd say it could be the last.  In future I assume he will give a card to someone closer to his own age.  Who is not his Mammy! 


So I'll have to look for love in other places.  And I've found a kind of love here.  I was over the moon to see that today, St Valentine's Day, I passed 50,000 page views on this blog.  Many of them were probably spambots, but it's still the population of a large town.  Think Waterford or Hereford say.  Quite scary in ways!  Thank you to everyone who reads this stuff that I churn out and especially to everyone who comments.  I love comments!  Who knew that blogging-as-free-therapy could work so well.   And a huge thank you also to thejournal.ie for publishing my response to the Tony Humphries autism article last Friday.  It felt good to have a story published in real media.  


 So I'm feeling the luurve, hope you are too!


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

  1. Always delighted to read your blogs,,,and I do agree with you on the "blogging-as-free-therapy" remark. I'm inching my way towards trying it, but putting obstacles in my own way every time I throw a few words together!
