Top Posts for November

December 1st. Get out! I know, right? The Christmas decorations are mocking me from their boxes in the attic -- just as my sad little pumpkin from the front porch (and the little ones on the entry table).  *sigh* I simply cannot keep up with the passage of time, and I certainly can't decorate for it.

No, I didn't scour the Internet for pictures of lame decorating.

 I walked out my front door...

 My Top Posts for November are a little skewed, but that's okay. If you follow me on any social media, you know that I periodically post links to old blogs. Yesterday (last day of November) I posted a link to one of my favorites, partly because it is mostly written by someone else. When Matt (the someone else) saw it, he linked to it on his Facebook, and since he has about 4,000 FB friends, I got more hits on that post than on any other post for the month.

If you havent read Amazing Love it's worth a click over. Like I said -- mostly because I didn't write the majority of it.

Top Posts for November:

1)Amazing Love (originally posted: 9/29/2005)

2)Happy Birthday to Riley! (originally posted: 11/18/2011)

3)Please Tell Me You Can Relate (originally posted 10/26/2011)

4)Finding Me (originally posted 11/10/2011)

5)Moving On (originally posted 11/30/2011)

If you don't already, I hope that you will 'Like' The Cleft of the Rock's page on Facebook. This month be looking for some fun Christmas videos over there.

Top Posts for September and Wrapping up the Month

Can you believe that September has come and gone? It truly seems just yesterday I was committing to you to write a blog post every day in September.

And, with the exception of last fun-filled Friday, I did it. I also said I was going to launch an email newsletter for my ministry by tomorrow. That... I didn't so much do.

So, as I look back at September I hit a few goals and missed a few. Way better than any sporting average I may have. I am thankful to be as connected as I am online or I wouldn't know all of this info about myself. In keeping track of my month, I have seen that September for me was:

*over 50 miles run or walk/run (JUST under 55).

*29 blog posts

*4 other articles posted various other places

*Various and sundry other successes such as dinner on the table 5 nights a week, showing up where we're supposed to be when we're supposed to be there (give or take 5-10 minutes...), and usually having the supplies and clean clothes necessary. #WINNING!

I am going to set some goals for October -- some writing, some fitness, some family. I'll be posting those tomorrow. Would love for you to be thinking about some October goals. Because misery loves company I need accountability and we could be accountability partners, right?

The top blog posts for this month are:

Friends in Unlikely Places

Naming Newsletter Help

Friends When You Need Them

Marriage Monday: SURPRISE!

A Blog A Day in September

Be thinking about your goals for October! I can't wait to hear them!

Top Posts for February

Thanks to some research, I have found a way to find out which of my posts are my top ones. These are my top posts for the month of February (in order of numbers of visits):

Considering Valentines Day

Super Day of Gluttony

Marriage Monday on Tuesday

Parenting Teens

I'm In a Cult, Who Knew?

The interesting thing is that the last one is 5 years old. I knew that it was still consistently being landed on by search engines (I think because I mention cults) but I had no idea that it was quite so popular. Sadly, it is simply a transcript of a news show. It isn't my writing at all. If you like another of my posts, email it to all of your friends and get another post to be on top! :-)
