I thought it would be interesting to share my blog statistics from when I started my blog to the day of its first birthday as a way to record them and use them as a basis for next years statistics.
I know that statistics can be a weird one when it comes to blogging, some people can see them as being a mark of failure or success, and while I have been aware of my blog’s statistics and been interested to see the highs and lows of the numbers, I have not been too hung up on them overall. I have learned that readers will come and go, as will comments and likes and it is not really a reflection of you, the blogger, its a reflection of your audience. Sometimes your views, likes and comments may be low but this isn’t necessarily a reflection of you, it could be that your audience is busy with their own life events.
Anyway, onto my blog statistics from the day I started blogging to 28th September 2019 when my blog turned 1!

Today marks the day where I gained 200 followers on this blog! I’m totally amazed and never thought that I would gain 10 followers, let alone 200. When I started this blog I was not really interested in having people follow and read my posts but as time has gone on, you are the guys who keep me coming back and continuing to post. You have been my inspiration and reason to smile and keep going, even on those days that writing is a struggle! Thank you so much!
