May I say this?

I'm sure not many of you have time to read all the blogs you are dedicated to, and I know posting a reply takes EVEN MORE time. However, it would really mean a lot to me to see a few comments every now and then. It would help me to feel as if what I have to say is important to someone.

I, too, don't have much time to read blogs. I'm picky to only read ones of those I know. Only once in a blue moon do I branch out.

I'm not asking for long replies, just a little, "I read it." would do. I would really feel loved.

If not, I fear I will discontinue blogging. Though we say we don't care if anyone reads it, the truth is that it really isn't much fun if anyone doesn't. I can just as easily write all this in my journal and keep it to myself. I would really prefer that. Somehow that would be easier, but I do this to stretch myself. Hopefully I will become a better writer. But even more so, hopefully I will be better known by those I don't get to see as much as I'd like.

I hope that you all understand. If you are unable to comment due to time restraints, that is fine.

I have only recently learned from a very good blogger friend that commenting is actually expected out there in the blogger world. It is considered a courtesy. I felt so bad as I hadn't been leaving comments, only reading. Since then I have tried to leave comments to the blogs that I read. It leaves sort of a trail for the reader and adds even just a little more meaning to their blog.

Of course I don't expect everyone to comment or anyone for that matter, so please do not feel obligated. I find I usually read one night and comment another. And sometimes I don't comment at all.

And may I say that I really appreciate those that have left comments. You have warmed my soul.

Lovingly,
T
