My Blogging Year in Review complete with listings of the posts that have been read the most, as well as my personal favorites:

Top Three Blogs since I began Blogging in 2010:

2. Touched by Laughter - (My favorite post; simply because of its importance)

3. Hard Evidence - (A gift to my son.)

Top Five Blogs in 2011: 

1. More Little Things
2. And So....
3. Spending Treasure VI - The Innocent
4. Perceptions, Profiles, Politics and "Prophets"? ~ EC-5
5.

A list of my favorite posts from each month that I wrote in 2011:

January – A Walkin’ Talkin’ Country Song And Other Interesting Characters - It’s about my son, what can I say?
February – My favorite post this month: Spending Treasure VI - The Innocent
March – I have two: The Sergeant and the Gentleman: A great humorous story in which I had no part, except writing about it. And In Loving Memory of Mama.
April – Ridin' Shotgun - A post about accepting the fact that my job as “mom” has changed.
May – More Little Things – My beloved Israel; as well as Appreciating America - "With Elation and With Tears"
June – Changing of the Guard, and My List of Things to Do - Spending Treasure IX
July – That Which Remains
August – Recompense
September – And So....; The Real McCoy; I like both of these for different reasons, obviously….they both involve my sister.  And So...., because it is about a beautiful family occasion, when my nephew married his high school sweetheart…and The Real McCoy because it is about such a wonderful memory of an extremely enjoyable evening; but also, because my sister told me how much she enjoyed this post.  That really surprised me…she is not a country music fan. Hmmm... tough month for selecting a favorite…I also liked Labor Day Reflections.  Oh, and Where Were You?  Again, I like this one because of its importance.
October – Fingernail Moon - Spending Treasure - X
November – Winter Joy
December – Spending Treasure – A Tender Touch

So there you have my Blogging Year in Review.   I enjoy blogging.  I enjoy writing.  I’m not saying these are the best written posts, they are simply my favorite.  Most of the time, I don’t even know why; probably because I feel passionately about the memories they invoke.
