F is for Followers and no, not that kind all you blogger types


Look behind you, there they are. 
            They follow hard behind you.  
                                They climb where you go, they step in your footprints, they march in step, they play to your drummer, they speak your language. 

            What are they picking up from you? 
                                                                  Sarcasm, short-sightedness and sloth? 
                                                                                                                            Or, joy, effort and love?



(Thank you for following my blog, I crossed the 100 mark yesterday and if things weren't so hectic, I am sure I should be doing something more than mentioning it here! This A to Z Challenge, beginning with the Video Challenge back in January, has brought me from 28 followers to 100. I hope its worth your time.)

I like your blog. As a dad, I can relate to so much of what you say. Congrats on the 100 followers.

Up to 100 eh? Well done - and yes, I found you through the A-Z challenge. Your blog takes me back to when my 4 were little.

I know how it is to go from such a short number of followers to a ton in a short period of time. Before I became attached to A to Z, I had 38 followers. That was in November of last year. Once I signed up for A to Z as a co-host to now, it jumped from 38 followers to 410.

And I am proud to be your 101 follower! :)

I have not hit that mark yet, perhaps in time... but I am more concerned with people following me, that enjoy my writing and interactions, than I am the actual numbers. :-)

Yes- it's worth my time!!

I think the challenge was and is a wonderful idea! I've really enjoyed blog hopping and meeting everyone! The blogs are so creative and above all informative!

I'm relatively new at blogging; however, I am becoming more accustom to doing so!

Liked the poem! I'm a poet! Hope you will stop by and read some!

Have a great time blogging and enjoy the challenge!!

Beautifully spoken. Thank you for the reminder---I need to watch my sarcasm and how it impacts my four following daughters!
I'm happy to see a Dad-based blog.
