Put Your Best Foot (Post) Forward

Say that you share your blog with someone or someone surfs
on your site to read a specific article.   

Do they stay..... or do they quickly jump away ?

What IF they see a listing for your 'MUST SEE' blog posts.   :)

Ahhhhh HA,  you've lured them to read a bit more at your site,
and now maybe they will sign up for your site feed. 

In doing a bit of research to see how to add such an area
to my own site, I came across a web page that was interesting.
Site readers have a dominant reading pattern.

~ WOW that really surprised me.   

F-Shaped Pattern For Reading Web Content

I also added those same MUST SEE posts in the 'About'
area of my blog.   

If you do add such an area to your site, please come back
and share the link.

My Tattoo For Personal Strength

Here is a picture of my tattoo.

Hmmmm well first off I will explain that it's one I

drew on myself this past week.   :)

My folks have been through some serious medical

issues and both are on the healing mend.

The emotional strain of caring for them and also

taking care of my family and myself was starting to wear on me.

I have a fabulous support system not only in my immediate family,

which I am most thankful for.....

Hubby Michael, children and extended family and friends,

but also in my community of ~online friends.

I was having a down moment this past week,

and I drew the heart on my wrist to remind myself

of how well I am loved, cared for and prayed for.

I took care in choosing where to draw the heart.

It is the place that one will reach around with your

other hand to take your pulse.

The place is constantly in my view and a reminder

of those who love me and care.

THANK YOU to those whom this heart represents.

You ARE my lifeline. !!!!!

LOVE

Deb

MIA - Deb

Dear Friends,

I've been MIA - Missing in Action due to some minor
personal medical issues that now have resolved.
Not to get overly personal, I'll just say that some
upper gastro issues have cleared up.   THANK GOD.  :)

My parents are also going through some of their
own medical issues and being the child closest 
in proximity to them I've been on the go helping out.

My Mom is 75 and is now in a rehab hospital to get
back on her feet following a series of infections.
My Dad is 77 and he has been in a successful
battle with bladder cancer. 

Your prayers would be MOST welcome.

My AF daughter in law has now returned from Iraq,
and my son is due home within the week from
a year tour in Korea.   When I say 'home', I mean
stateside to his base in Texas. 

XO XO
