It's going to take me awhile to sort through all the comments on yesterday's post. I'll remember December 31, 2008 as my fifteen minutes of fame. Wow. I'm used to seeing a new commenter here and there on the blog, but 53 comments? I'm overwhelmed. It's a good overwhelm, should say. THANK YOU everyone who visited the Gold Puppy yesterday.
Out of the 53 comments I received yesterday, there was only one from a person who felt compelled to insult me (I didn't bother to publish that one) and some spam from Asian industrial companies. Most of the comments were generous and appreciative.
Wow.
The holidays are over! As always I am relieved. Happy, too, to make myself at home in 2009. I love beginnings; January 1 is always one of my favorite days of the year.
Happy New Year to old blogfellows and brand new blogfellows. May 2009 be a year of great good health, good cheer and happiness. May it be so!

Congratulations on being Blog of Note! After it happened to me, I had to go to comment approval.
ReplyDeleteYep. All comments moderated until the furor dies down.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Glad I stumbled upon your beautiful & inspiring blog. Keep up the good work (I'm sure it doesn't feel like work).
ReplyDeleteBog of Note! Happy New Year, Reya.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Great photo - I like the color. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I always thought you were a bit of a star. :)
ReplyDeleteTut - That is not a typo. I feel bogged, in a happy way.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't pay much attention to the individual(s) with far too much time on their hands to be posting abuive messages, they're not worth it.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, just another visitor via Blogs of Note, congrats. ;)
Oh my gosh! Congratulations!! It's about time your fabulous blog was appreciated! Be prepared for a storm of bloggy visitors. They are going to LOVE you!! :^)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning. You are a star! I'm here for the second day in a Row !
ReplyDeleteHave a great New year!
sounds like a bit of a mixed blessing but the recognition is good - well done you! i always thought yours was a blog of note xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a blog of note! This video is AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe tone (blog-wide) of your photos is "find the most interesting thought available at the present moment and express it." I'm being really subjective, I know, but that comes through to me, and is refreshing. Keep up the good work. Your "mostly photos" preface, is however, belied by some pretty good writing.
ReplyDeletewhat did i miss???? Blog of Note?? Where is that??? WELL DONE ANY WAY!!! and wishing you The Best 2009! heaps of love xxx janelle
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, especially on building some new links with kindred spirits over time.
ReplyDeleteThe video reminds me of Marisa Monte's "Enquanto Isso",
"If we could only see fast enough
We could see everything
Dawns turnings nights..."
As if an ultimate understanding would be revealed,
"God bless us everyone"

ReplyDeleteThank you and congratulations! I'm a blogger newbie. Thought about it for a long time but wasn't sure what I would write about. Got a gentle nudge from a friend a few weeks ago and jumped in with both feet. The holidays gave me lots a writing material but I wondered what I would write about after they were over. Also wondered about how to decide what other blogs to follow.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw you on 'Blog of Note' yesterday. I was inspired and enlightened. Thank you. I even figured out how to add you to my 'blogs I am following'. Did it wrong yesterday, got it right today. I wish you peace, love, joy and many blessings everyday!
Hello, I found you on Blogs of Note, and wanted to say you have some stunning photos! Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cool blog here, hope you don't mind if I stop by again!
Happy New Year!
I don't know much about this Blog of Note thing but it seems to be a big deal, so congratulations! It certainly has upped your traffic - at least as evidenced by the comments (up to 61 on the previous post). And you certainly deserve the attention. I feel a bit like "I knew you when".
ReplyDeleteLove ya dahlink. xoxo
Well done on Blog of Note. Comment moderation sadly is needed - the price of 15 mins of fame I guess.
ReplyDeleteHappy New your too!
