THERE ONE MINUTE....GONE THE NEXT

THERE ONE MINUTE.....GONE THE NEXT:The other day a strange thing occurred.

I was sat at my pc.

About to start a new post

For blogland to see.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

I happened to glance at the total of followers,

466 to be precise.

As I sat there looking

It went to 465 before my very eyes.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Whoever decided to leave me,

Couldn't have known I saw their departure.

I felt a wee bit sad.

But I guess that's nature.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am now back to 466,

By someone new to me.

But how strange I witnessed someone's leaving,

As I sat by my pc.

What are the odds you would see it happen? I've logged in and noticed someone gone but I've never seen it happen.
But hey - the ones that matter stay, right?

This happened to me the other day too... I always feel a little sad when that happens, but on the other hand... we get to meet lots of wonderful new people too.

Quite a coincidence that you would actually see it as it happened. But one can't measure there success by those numbers.

Hey Yvonne! Yeah, it happens sometimes, but I think people fall off the blogosphere or what not. Not because they don't want to follow anymore. Many of them are just floaters anyway. Don't take it personally. :)

Well, that's sort of a bummer isn't it. I had that happen to me last week. I lost one and gained a new one by the end of the day so I figured, oh well. I just read about your book and your blog at Daily Dodo. Congratulations on your book and I look forward to following along with your blog! I adore the way you write your poems and I love the sweet music that's playing in my ears as I type this. :)
