I began this blog back in November and at that time I was feeling overjoyed with my work, my students, and things that were going on at school. My creativity was flowing and I was filled with ideas and thoughts I wanted to share. Every day I posted something - usually something original that I had made myself. I contacted other folks in the blogosphere and tried to network. I put some of my things up on Pinterest and watched as my fellow pinners repinned them without comment.
But the blog was quiet . . . beyond quiet, it was silent. I felt like I was in a vacuum and that no one would ever be reading or interested in what I was doing. Ah well, I thought. That's how it goes. There are a lot of blogs on the internet after all. You win some and you lose some.
But today I got an email about a comment. What? I asked myself.
¿Qué es
esto? Someone is reading?! Not only that, I have two followers!! Oh, bless you both! I never set out to become a famous blogger or change the world of Spanish teaching, just to make some connections and share with people who would understand and occasionally appreciate what I had to say.
And on that note, I have nothing even remotely interesting to say right now except for thank you. I'll put something meaningful up tomorrow.
¿Qué es
esto? Is that my enthusiasm returning? Oh wow, I hope so!
Hasta pronto amigos,

Anne,
I just discovered your blog tonite and have pinned just about EVERY page! I can't wait to use your marvelous ideas in class this coming school year--¡Mil gracias!
Sra. Arnold, I'm sorry I didn't respond to this comment back when you made it. I just discovered that my Gmail has been filtering my blog comments to spam, so I haven't been reading them. Now the irony is that this is a comment here on my post about feeling lonely in the blog world, and I didn't get it for over a year - still feeling lonely. Oh well.
I'm glad you found useful material here and I hope to keep creating more things for folks to share. I wish you and your students all the best.
<3 AnneK
