Getting to Know You

I am incredibly curious. Well, downright nosey, if you want to know the truth. I eavesdrop on the conversations of strangers at the mall. I eyeball people's groceries in the checkout line, and I read the blogs of people I don't know. I love learning about people and what makes them each unique. Perhaps, that's why I enjoy blogging. I am intrigued by strangers, and I assume others are curious about me. That's because people stop by my blog each day, and I can count on one hand the readers that I actually know. I have no clue who the others are that log in and nudge my counter upward. I'm dying to know more about you. What part of the country do you live in? What do you do for a living? Why do you want to read what I have to say? What emotions do my ramblings pull out of your soul? I have an insatiable appetite for this kind of information.

When I first installed a counter, I was startled to discover that anyone actually visited my little corner of cyberspace. I don't advertise it much because I don't have the time, so I'm still a little surprised each morning to log on and see verification that someone knocked on my door and came on in while I was away. I'm even more surprised when someone takes the time to leave a comment. I do my fair share of lurking on other blogs, and I often don't leave comments on other blogs because I'm so busy. Some days I do well to fill this space. However, I hope you will delurk at some point and introduce yourself because I really want to know you. Stop by any time. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. I'm a people person. I love company. Share a tidbit or two about yourself. Tell me what's in your grocery cart. I'm dying to know.
