  1. Those are great. But you know, I think sometimes the blogging friends become better friends because they have more in common. The close-by family and friends sometimes seem relieved that they don't have to listen to me go on and on and on about my hobbies and crafts anymore! :)

  2. You are so right. I've only been doing this for a month and a half and I already feel like I've made more friends than in years of local social contact. (Mostly I was just thinking about my husband suffering from neglect, due to my new love for blogging, when I wrote these.) It's been great to connect up with people in the blogosphere. It's like "Wow! I'm not alone! Somebody out there gets it!" :)

  4. as for blogging friends...

    When I started blogging I knew it would be a lonely place for much of the beginning months.

    and it was. For about 3 months blogging felt like I was a hermit on some English moor with nothing but the wind blowing.

    But addicted I became anyway, because it sure beats watching T.V.

    Now I've met so many like-minded gals. It's wonderful. And yeah, the so understand.

    XXOO to Sue.

  5. Thanks so much, both of you. I started blogging as a kind of creative outlet, to keep me from just sitting around reading all the time, and it's turned out to be so much more than that. I'm very grateful.
