This post is just to thank you for reading this blog. I know how crowded the internet is and the sheer quantity of things a person could consume. Whatever brought you here, whether you're a regular subscriber or you've simply stumbled on my Pflaum Kuchen recipe (one of the top ways people find this blog, apparently) and decided to poke around a little, thank you.
Blogs (both my own and others') are like safe, quiet places for me. I can be myself without being too self-conscious, but the idea that someone out there might read something I've written pushes me to keep getting better. These posts do take time and I put my heart into many of them,usually without thinking about how I'll grow my readership or build my personal brand, which is what blogs have largely become. Most of the time I have no idea who's reading and then out of the blue, someone will mention something I wrote here. That feels great (and also a little like I've been caught).
And for as long as I've kept a blog (starting with my first post here, back in 2006), I don't think I've ever stopped to just thank you, the reader, for being part of this in some way.
Thank you so very much.
