In the right column, you can see the blog posts that got the most comments, and they are some of my favorites as well. However, here are the blog posts that you loved the most. They got the most views and were shared by the most people.<\/p>\n

Five Things You Must Do Every Day<\/b><\/a>
\nThis was a surprise one for me. I still get comments on this one although it ran last May. It\u2019s a great thing to think about. If you can concentrate on just doing five things a day that make you happy, then that adds up to a wonderful life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Talking Babies<\/b><\/a>
\nOh baby! When these twins hit the Internet, they were an instant viral sensation. It was just too delightful watching these twin toddlers have a fully nonsensical conversation. Your ideas about what they were talking about were equally as priceless.<\/p>\n

Laughing Babies<\/b><\/a>
\nAnother viral hit. This video really showed that it\u2019s the simplicity of life that brings the most joy\u2026 like tearing paper for a baby.<\/p>\n

The Royal Wedding Dance<\/b><\/a>
\nOh man, do you remember the buzz about the royal wedding? It was all we could talk about in the spring. This spoof video was just a fun warm-up for the big day. Gets me dancing all over again.<\/p>\n

A Friend in Need: Dog Cries with Baby<\/b><\/a>
\nEverybody needs a friend and this baby and her dog found each other. <\/p>\n

Count Your Blessings<\/b><\/a>
\nWhat I love most about this blog was that suddenly the comment thread went crazy with people sharing all the good things in their life. What gratitude!<\/p>\n

How to Heal a Broken Heart<\/b><\/a>
\nI wrote a lot about broken hearts and loss this year in response to you, the readers. This was the one you loved the most.<\/p>\n

The Spiritual Side of Cleaning Your Room<\/b><\/a>
\nWho knew a blog about cleaning up after yourself would take off? This was one of the many blogs that was inspired by Gretchen Rubin\u2019s book The Happiness Project<\/em>. Turns out getting rid of clutter makes way for joy.<\/p>\n

What the Resurrection Means for You\u2026 Even If You Don\u2019t Believe<\/b><\/a>
\nMy Easter blog. Some religious holidays are a hard-sell for people hardened against faith of any kind. I know this blog was shared a lot and I\u2019m glad. Easter is for all of us.<\/p>\n

When The Door Closes, Look for the Window<\/b><\/a>
\nIt\u2019s quite fitting that this blog rounds out the top ten, because it actually became the chief lesson I learned this year. \u201cWhen God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
