In honor of my new email address for Top of JC’s Mind, I have updated my About page.
I wish I could say that I was also drafting exciting new posts and poems, but I am coming down with a cold and not trusting myself with anything that takes a lot of brainpower.
It finally dawned on me that I should have an email account for Top of JC’s Mind, so I just set up a gmail account.
The address is topofjcsmind@gmail.com.
Not very original, but it makes sense.
Now, I just have to remember to check it periodically!
I’m guessing that most people will prefer to leave comments as usual, but there is now a way to reach me that is not public, if you so choose.
Please don’t flood me with messages just to see how long it takes me to notice or respond! 😉

Here we are at the end of Just Jot It January 2016. I did a thank you post to Linda on Friday, hoping that I would have time to work on a long-delayed post for Sunday, but my brainpower had to be directed elsewhere.
The fun thing is that January 29 became a record-setting day here at Top of JC’s Mind with 66 likes on that day! Â My old record had been 59, set on October 13, 2015.
While the thank you post to Linda for Just Jot It January generated the most views, I was happy to have generated views that spread news on behalf of poet- and blogger-friends and a couple of re-blogs. There was a post of links to the recently published poems of Merrill Oliver Douglas on Eunoia Review and one spreading the news about the change in platform for OM. I re-blogged anagram haiku from Mathemagical and a wonderful post explaining the true meaning of jihad from Perfect-The-Days. There were also likes for a post I had written the day before which included the Saint Francis Peace Prayer.
I know that part of the reason for the record-setting day was having had an unusually high number of posts in a short amount of time, while part was having the built-in promotion of Just Jot It January for a couple of the posts.
Setting records is fun, but not as gratifying as the knowledge that people are connecting with one another through Top of JC’s Mind.
Sending out a big THANK YOU to all the visitors who made this record possible and all those who pop in on all the non-record-setting days, too!
