Time for Reflection

After a lesson or unit, teachers are encouraged to look back on their work, or "reflect," to see how effective their lesson was and how it could be improved upon. It's probably something we all do at one point or another regarding almost any aspect of our lives. For example, that Italian cream cake I made yesterday - was it a keeper recipe? And if the cake has already been devoured, then yes, that was probably a job well done. If the cake was just pushed around on my family's plates and gracefully never mentioned again, well, then I might need to fix something.

So today I am reflecting about this blog. It is coming close to time to talk about this thing at Roundup in Lubbock, and I'd like to have a better idea about how things are going. So once again, if you will look over there to the left, there are a few poll questions I'd like you to answer. The first is just a visitor counter. I have no real way to know to how many people check this website, so you're here, click the little visitor counter for me. Don't worry, I can't track you down, I can't trace who you are or what computer you are clicking from. I just need a head count.

Next, I'd like to know how often you check this website. If this is the first time ever to check it, there's a place for you. If you are a loyal reader and always have been, there's a place for you. If you forget this blog is here more often than not, but you still check it now and then, there's a place for you.

And last, I want to know who is reading. Wait - stop panicking - remember I'm not trying to track you down and eliminate your carefully protected anonymity! I just want to know if you're single or not. This blog was created for singles, of course, but if there are any non-single readers out there (and I think there are), you are most welcome! A lot of these blog posts could actually address needs in any one's life, not just singles'.

So there you have it. I'm reflecting on the usefulness and effectiveness of this creation. As always, feel free to leave comments if you have suggestions or just want to say something. I'm listening.

And, as always, thanks for your cooperation!
