Today, the 1,000,000th visit to Wounded Bird was recorded on my counter. Actually, I lost a couple of days when the counter stopped working, so the total was reached a couple of days ago, but I have no record, so today is the big day. My one millionth visit was from Pawtucket, Rhode Island at 13:45:42. Congratulations for making my day, visitor from Pawtucket.
This post is No. 6485. My first post was on January 22, 2007. I never dreamed Wounded Bird would still be running after five and a half years, nor did I ever believe I'd reach a total of 1,000,000 visits.
Thanks to everyone who visits, and thanks to all who take the time to leave a comment. Without the encouragement, I would not still be blogging.
Congratulations! Does this mean it's time for an oil change?
ReplyDeleteKJ, I wish I could get an oil job on these old joints of mine. I find myself a little excited by the million.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO! To the grandest Grandmère Mimi in the whole wide world (online and other)! You´re a champ! Thanks for all you share. I´m now completely devoted to both you and Michelle Obama (holy vaca, you don´t think I´m becoming straight do ye?). Your friend, Leonardo/Len in Guatemala
ReplyDelete(holy vaca, you don´t think I´m becoming straight do ye?)
DeleteNot for a second, Len, but I thank you for the place of honor in a category with Michelle Obama. Wasn't she great last night? And she looked beautiful. Her dress was lovely and suited her perfectly.
Congratulations Grandmère Mimi, makes sense that a person from Pawtucket would have the good sense to ready your blog. The Red Sox triple-A affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox are there!
ReplyDeleteWade, I was keeping an eye out since this morning because I wanted to know where the one millionth visit came from.
DeleteWow!!!! Well done Grandmere! And you bring such joy to so many --and bolster our fortitude in so many ways. Thank you for all you do --you are such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, margaret. Your blog is an inspiration to me, and I don't express my appreciation often enough.
DeleteCongrats. & for one be grateful for the odd troll or two.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lapin. The trolls do serve the purpose of running up my numbers. I wonder if spam is counted. Blogger blocks 6 or 7 spam messages per week.
DeleteCongrats, dear Mimi!
ReplyDeleteThanks, m'dear.
DeleteYay, Mimi!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, susan s. Even Grandpère was impressed with the numbers.
DeleteHow diminished our blog world, hey - our world - would be without your unique voice. Keep it going!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fran. You carry on, too. I don't know how you do all you do.
DeleteCongratulations -- keep on keeping on!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. I'm grateful for the listing on the Episcopal Café, which directs a good many visitors my way.
DeleteCongratulations! Grateful for your dedication and I enjoy your wisdom and humor. Sorry I do not comment as often as I visit but I visit every day when I can.
ReplyDeleteRudo
Thanks, Rudo. Visits are good. I couldn't get to a million without you.
DeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteYou are always my first site to read after I check my mail. Thanks for being here!

Many thanks to you, amyj.
DeleteI had to come out of Google Reader to say Congratulations, Mimi! Well done! You were there when I got started with blogging and were a big help to me. I'm glad to have gotten to know you over these last years.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny. I read your morning prayer and look at you always wonderful picture every day.
DeleteCongratulations! It is easy to understand why your blog is so popular. Your passion, compassion, and humanity comes through clearly. Wounded Bird has been on my "must check every day" list for some time. If this 80 yr old frame holds up, I'll be around reading the next 6500 posts! Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol/Dave. You, my readers, keep me going. You supply the energy when I flag. I owe you so much.
DeleteSo good! Wisdom, prayers, humor and love. Echoing all the comments above. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Bonnie.
DeleteWOnderful...you get to 1000000 by continuing to challenge us all to see with new eyes, listen with new ears and be open with a new heart. (Mostly) and then you do something naughty and just a little quierky and French Quarter like, and, well, you know, mere respect moves over into delight.
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging esteemed crazy one. It is a blessing to us all.
Mark, you and your blog inspire me. I don't know whether I should say this or not...oh what the hell!...I think you're no less crazy than I, a good and different crazy that's a gift to so many.
DeleteLike wow! Vast congratulations.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Michelle Obama, though, how about the Big Dawg tonight? "I'd like to nominate a man who had the sense to marry Michelle Obama." This convention, including its on-line fan base, is the biggest love feast I've ever seen.

The Big Dawg played the crowd like a maestro.
DeleteExcuse me, Granny, but as you always reply to every entry that means you've written ONE MILLION replies!! I think that must qualify for some sort of reward - even if only a lie-down in a darkened room!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congrats from Charlie Farns-Barns.
Ah Charlie, remember not every visitor leaves a comment. I wouldn't be able to keep up.
DeleteThanks.
Congratulations! I always enjoy visiting WB to hear a voice of sanity and sense, the true Anglican ethos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Russ. I dunno about the sanity thing. Maybe a middlin' Anglican?
DeleteMany congratulations!
ReplyDeleteFrank
Thanks Frank, and thank you for your contributions.
