Why do I blog when I have few readers?

The other day Im complaining to myself that I have few readers here, and its it worth it to continue.

So, Id compare myself to Syd, or Steve or Andrew and say Hey! they've got peeps. Dozens if not hundreds of "peeps" as Steve calls his beloved readers. "Why, i have to be like them, and have many many readers, otherwise my blog aint worth a damn", my diseased thinking was telling me.

I even went so far as to google up ideas on how to drive traffic here, how to get my blog noticed through search engines and such. It just seemed like too much trouble to do that. So I let it go. And then the "thoughts angel" appeared and asked me why? Why is it so important to have a ton of readers? Would that make me someone important? Special? yeah, thats it. It seems my ego wanted to be acknowledged, to be "acclaimed".

So tonight, I was thinking about the readers I have....Seth, Syd, Steve, Betty Ann and a few others, I thought "How nice that there is something I have to say that they like to hear", and I was very much grateful for that. So, I hope to continue with posting interesting, uplifting and "real" stories of my life......

and with that....look above, I have a cool story to tell....
