Readers...what do you think?

Another wonderful weekend!!  The twins and I went out shopping Saturday morning, then Kat and I got some time alone Saturday afternoon, so where do we go...the same place every other Portlander goes when the weather is nice...Home Depot!  We have several planter boxes on our deck (made by yours truly) and it is time to get herbs and flowers planted.  The other thing that Kat and I are starting up is a compost bin.  We needed to get some red worms for the bin, so we went to Pet Smart...and of course we come home w/ worms and a bird! 

Kermit is a green Parakeet and is just the most active, loving bird.  He is still unsure of  his new surroundings, but he is getting to know us and even landed on my shoulder yesterday when he was out for his fly.  I had forgotten how cool it was to have a bird on your shoulder and how calming hearing them sing is.  While I was unsure about this, I am finding that Kermit is adding to our home in a very soothing and calming way.

I was thinking this weekend about this blog.  There are lots of blogs out there that focus on food, exercise, different types of diets.  I have shared some of my insights as I have been working through how to get my weight off and keep it off.  I know that the blog reaches out to people by the friends I know who talk to me about it and by the international readers that the blog has.  I continue to be surprised by the countries where this blog is being read. 

So I have questions for my readers, what is it that keeps bringing you back to read the blog?  Is there something you'd like to see added to the blog?  What do you feel the blog is missing that would help you on your journey to health?

I am realizing that while this blog started as a way for me to track what I was doing and to keep me accountable, I never really thought anyone would read it.  This blog can continue to be what I need, a record of my journey and a way to hold me accountable for my behaviors, but I am hoping to learn from those who read this blog as well.  For this blog to become a dialogue where we can all learn from each other.  So let me know what you would like to see, what you feel is missing, my guess is that it will be something that would be of benefit for myself and others as well

Thanks!
