Then one of my great readers leaves me a really sweet comment telling me how much they appreciate my blog. That they are cooking more often, or saving money. That they made one of my recipes for their family and even the picky eaters loved it. Those comments keep me going! I realize that even though I don't have a million followers, I am still making a difference for a few cooks, and that is what it's all about. 

I was thrilled to find out that Heidi at Tried and True Cooking with Heidi, gave me a blog award. It helped me remember that the purpose for blogging isn't about stats and numbers, it's about sharing with other people. People just like us who are looking for ways to make life a little better, a little easier, a little tastier, a little more beautiful, or even a little funnier. If we do that for just one person, our blog has made a difference in the world. Thanks Heidi!!!
