Worldwide Web

It really IS a worldwide web.  Not that I ever doubted it but now I have proof.  I recently installed a widget called NeoCounter that keeps track of the hits my blog gets, identifying the U. S. cities and various countries.  I occasionally click on  "Next Blog"  at the top of my home page to randomly check out other blogs and it's fun to see where I might end up and what type of blog it is.

  I have to admit I didn't think I was gettting that many hits myself  because comments are rare but here is the list of countries I have had hits from just in the last couple of days:  United Kingdom, Brazil, Norway, Philippines, France, Australia, India and our neighbor Canada.  That doesn't count all the U.S. cities on the list, either.

About 18 mos. ago I wrote a post about a visit to see my Aunt Helen, a Maryknoll Missionary Sister who had lived and worked in many locations throughout the world.  Imagine my amazement when I got a comment from a reader in Jamaica who is a Maryknoll missionary priest who had worked with my aunt in Bolivia!!!!  He thanked me for sharing my story.  I had goose bumps!!  What a small world!
