What Are Life Lessons?
What life lesson did you learn too late?
Here I am, 83 and a half years old, and I have no idea what lessons I have learned and those that I haven’t!
So, instead of today’s prompt I would like to ask a very interesting (to me) question: why have so many of my posts suddenly become of interest to so many people in China?
Every day I have a look at the Home page of Jetpack which shows me what the day’s prompt is as well as the number of views my site has had up to the moment and in what country these views have made. Within the past month or so the number of views has gone up each day and the number of views by readers in China has sky-rocketed!
Now, I want to say here that I am not unhappy that I have had so many views from any one country – on the contrary, I am delighted! I am bewildered, though. In the entire month of November in 2025 there were 2 views by someone in China of Whitehairedwoman; so far, just today (10th November, 2026) I have had 88 views from China and the number of views from the USA has gone up to 40 – from only 1 or 2 yesterday and for the preceding month or so.
This post will be sent by email to anyone who has signed up to receive my posts. Those people will probably be annoyed that I haven’t really followed the prompt at all – sorry! But if you are one of the kind people in China who has read one or more of my posts, I would be very pleased to hear from you about why you decided to read this old lady’s posts! Just a few words will do.
Thanks in advance to those of you from any country who respond. 😀
