Hello, friends!

Who would have thought I’d ever reach this milestone?  Certainly not me, but I am so grateful to all of you.  You’ve stayed with me through my ups and downs, and my absences, never leaving me behind.  I can’t thank you enough for that.

Today, when I logged into WordPress, I discovered I had over 300,000 views!!! Over 102,000 visitors and 4,232 followers! I am overwhelmed by these numbers.

Thank you, so very much, all of you, for accepting me into your blogging families, and your lives.  I’m on Cloud 9 right now.   ❤

Where once I followed many blogs, tis not the case today

Seems WordPress played around again, let some get away

Wondering why, I couldn’t see their posts, in my reader

Clicked the link on my desktop, no follow, WP, the ringleader

Perhaps it might be favorable, to beta test an update, before

You apply it to all of us, and send us “flying” out the door

Now I have to go back, try to remember who I’m missing

I promise you it wasn’t me, who started all this dissing!

So if you’ve missed me in your feed, take a look to see

If the Follow is a blasé grey, then, please click it, just for me!

 

Dear Lord, what a mess!!!  I couldn’t understand why I was missing so many of you in my reader, until The Haunted Wordsmith pointed out she had lost so many blogs she follows!!  Enough already!  leave the stuff that works ALONE!

For those of us using the iOS App for WordPress, we received an email yesterday telling us that our WordPress App had signed us out because there was a security issue.  If you haven’t seen it, this is it:

Great. So, it logged me out, and I logged back in, and lo and behold, the reader isn’t working!!!!!! I get as far as one hour ago and, boom, everything else is gone. Anyone else having this problem? Honestly, I’m disgusted over the whole reader crap that’s been going on and this just adds to it.

Hey!  Happiness Engineers!  I…am not happy!

What Amazon Says:

Human being has the will power to travel through an exhausting journey, win a tough battle, and heal a deep wound. Strength from hope keeps us going until the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight and striving until the storm is over.

Hurdle in her poetry collection includes themes of personal experiences in nature, difficult relationship, cancer treatment, marriage, parenthood, remembrance, reflection and inspiration. She reveals the honest self-talk and reflects a heart filled with optimism, faith and trust. She loves music, photography and watercolor painting and includes photos and paintings to complement the poems.

My Review:

“Songs of Heartstrings – Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude” is a most enjoyable book of poetry.  Told in the first person, Miriam Hurdle takes you along on her many journeys, in the ups and downs, of life.  I particularly enjoyed the photos, placed before many of the poems.  It brought me closer to what Miriam was relaying in her words.

My favorite poem is “Life’s Currents”.  Here, the author reminds us we are never alone, no matter the hardships we might face in our time here on Earth.  There is no doubt Miriam has a strong faith and relies on it for many of life’s obstacles.

The book is broken up into eight different sections, making it a very pleasant read.  Miriam uses different styles of poetry, so you’re never just reading.  She easily gets and keeps your attention throughout.  If you are looking for a poetry book filled with inspiration, and thought provoking passages, this is the book for you.  I highly recommend this to any and every one, as I thoroughly enjoyed reading “Songs of Heartstrings – Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude”.

I purchased the book in Kindle, and it also available in paperback from Amazon.
