Blogs

I don't know why I blog. Wait!! Yes, I do. I do it to stay connected to family and friends far away and to chronicle the kids growing up. Plus, I am a processor of things.........out loud........and this gives me a place to do that too. Lots of people blog and want lots of readers...........I do not! I know of people here in town who blog and go to blog conferences, advertise their blogs and are excited to have a big readership..............they do giveaways and even advertise on the sides. Not me! It's just not what I want. I want to know who is reading my blog and I have checked off every privacy mechanism I can, so that people can't just google something and find me on the web. That actually creeps me out! That being said, my stats counter shows I am being read by a few folks in places I have never even heard of............and know nobody living in.... I guess that is just the realities of the internet.....

I am a blog reader though and have found some really funny and wise women I enjoy "checking" in on. I don't connect with them though by commenting on their sites..................except for today. My favorite blog.......My Messing Thrilling Life (click on it)
is closing down.. I am so sad, but understand that life changes all the time. But, I feel like I am losing a friend. This blogging internet thing has connected people all over the world that would never have the joy of getting to know each other..................for that, I am thankful.
