As a tradition I do a post on the last day of the year summarizing all the stuff that has occurred in the past year….kinda my “thank you” message if you will…..passing of another year is not something you celebrate when you get to be my age….this year was not a good one I lost my father….but I can say that the one shining point of the year was my blog…….helped make everything worthwhile…..

Seven years ago I was recovering from having my leg smashed while working in a Katrina damaged house……it hurt……but the massive damage forced me to retire……for years I had been writing letters and articles, did some teaching and lecturing and a bunch of activism, but I gave all that up in 1996 because Clinton was destroying the country and NO wanted to see it……I got discouraged and took some time off……sorry I digress…….my blog has been through many name changes and I finally settled on the name In Saner Thought and as they say here we are today…..

Since the beginning I have got 151,583 hits, it started slow but has picked up in the last several years and in the 7 years I have had the honor of getting 15,583 comments from great followers…….my old reliable like Larry of Woodgate’s View has been a joy and in those years I have got many new readers that I hope will stick around and enjoy the exchange of views……people like Cry & Howl, John Z, John L., Mathius, Bill Hayes, Gigoid and others that have extremely good taste by visiting here and joining the dialog…..we may not always agree but at least we talk……if I left you out I am sorry but be aware that I cherish the participation in my site.

And in those years I have also lost a few readers for various reasons like Quin and Terrance I keep hoping that they will find their way back and rejoin the conversation….I miss their input……

It is the end of another year and a very successful year for me and I want to thank each and every one of my readers that have stuck with me and hope that we enjoy a long association….my readers have been a joy and a frustration at times (but in a good way)…..I pray that we all have a great New Years Day and we all come back and ….

Thank you all each and every one, so very much for making the blogging experience a joy and educational…….and a bit manic at times, LOL……..Thanx!~
