I too am grateful everyday for what this community has brought into my life.(Not to mention, what Patti Digh, her book and hearing her read in your sweet homeotwn has done for me !) These connections are real, heartfelt and life changing. I would never have thought that "in the beginning", but I know it with all my heart now.<br />So I top my cupcake with jazzy birthday candles, light them up and say "Here's to Blogland ! Long may you run..."<br />Hugs !<br />(PS. Thanks for the honor of being mentioned here.

I think one thing that drew me in, initially, was to see you mention your faith and church things -we're from the same street, so to speak, in that respect. But from the first I read your blog, I was drawn in by your words, your thoughts, your thoughtfulness -straight-forward, yes, but not aggressively so. A trait I admire deeply but have a lot of difficulty with it in my own life and blogging. Thanks for the vote of confidence from you-to me -in this post today. I have tried, still do, will continue to do that too (I hope) to see the good things in life, even when they come at me looking not so good initially. <br />A couple other bloggers I've found -"The Things We Carried" and Sandi McBride at "Holding Patterns" (I know Sandi is on my Blog Roll and I think they both can be found among my followers on my blog -check them out if you can and you'll find two more really awesome writers there -to keep you even busier with the blog scene, ya know. LOL Like we all have tons more time to add more reading, huh?<br />Keep doing what you've been doing -which is to put out a great, quality blog -all the time!<br />Peace.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201519373848137965.post-17721189240853071642009-09-03T05:25:50.707-04:002009-09-03T05:25:50.707-04:00I love you too, Deb! xxxxxxxxxxxxI love you too, Deb! xxxxxxxxxxxxNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919764140075852854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201519373848137965.post-11571746813857386842009-09-03T04:27:54.395-04:002009-09-03T04:27:54.395-04:00Awesome post!

Then I was so touched seeing all of these beautiful bloggers you showcased and I actually started to get all teared up. Then then :GASP: I see my name. Whoa. You know, it's just so different when you go from being a comment buddy to a human being. And I appreciate, very much, that you did this tonight by being your lovely self and expressing your passion and admiration for so many others you've bumped into here and there. I just love that we're all in this together. People touching people. Amazing.<br /><br />And darn it, I just realized something.
