Thought for the day.

Thanks for that Paul, those stats have really made my day. I had no idea we were getting that many views ! Can we get that sort of info on our home page for all to see or is it tough to get ? If ever I get disheartened about lack of new members I'll just look at those stats at see for myself we do make a difference !

Hi Mo!

The stats above were from the LCD blog that eddie posted to show the high number of monthly readers it draws in-Sadly there's no such detailed stats in this forums software apart from how many views a thread gets but I did register the forum with Google Analytics not long ago and the detailed results are very encouraging and once a month,if you like,I can post the stats as a screenshot if you like but in the last 48 hours we have had over 4,000 views spread amongst many different visitors worldwide and the 'Bounce rate' percentage shows folks are visiting,sticking around to read and then returning for more-all in all,for a new site-we're more popular than you'd think!

Thanks Paul, yes, I think a monthly stat update would be nice. We sometimes think we're not growing or reaching other diabetics so a regular update would be encouraging I think !

It also costs nothing and is greatly received. I've never heard of Isaac Singer, but he sounds OK :-)

Hi Mo, I so agree kindness costs nothing but the rewards can be huge  

Details on Author, Isaac Singer, born in Poland in 1902, he died in 1991.

“The art of conversation is the art of hearing as well as of being heard.”
― William Hazlitt,

However, we choose to converse letter, phone, forum etc the important thing is to talk, listen, exchange views.

Hope your day has gone well today - I've enjoyed the sunshine today have you?  

All the best Jan

conversation is good . had a conversation about spring cleaning the house today . decided tomorrow might be a good day to start . husband will do windows . i will sort through cupboards and throw out stuff not used for a while .

There are so many thoughts, ideas, hints that can make a day better.

How about this one?

I thought that Joe Strummer said the following, it turns out that it was Calvin Coolidge who surprisingly also wrote 'London Calling', that aside a pretty stirring quote:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

Love it Al "Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Work, work and more work, if you want to succeed.

"First things first. Let's set priorities. There are only 24 hours in a day, and last time I did the math, it's impossible to do everything that needs to be done and everything one wants to do in a day. It just doesn't add up"

How often have you said ... I wish there were more hours in the day - I know I have.
