If you are a reader of this blog, {or any blog}, you really should read this post by Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry. She has summed up the way 99.99% of bloggers feel about their commentors and blogging in general.
One of my favorite excerpts:
“You may think that what you have to say doesn’t matter or your words are insignificant. You may find it hard to believe, but your words are important, they make a difference. Every comment that comes through my blog, is read and appreciated and I know I am not the only blogger who feels this way. I KNOW THIS.”
Many times, I don’t comment on your blogs because I have nothing relevant to say or because I am somewhat afraid of being seen for what I truly am – a dork in big girl panties. But after reading that post, I don’t care anymore. I’m letting my little liiiiiight soooooo shine before your blogs from here on out. Call me a goober, I don’t care. At least I’ve got my big-girl panties on. {which by the way, I had to go down a size in, because I’ve lost twenty pounds!!!}
Oh, and hey – this whole Twitter thing? If you twitter, I want to follow you. Look in my middle column for my Twitterings and follow me if you so desire! {Follow! Follow…I will follow You-hoo. Anywhere, everywhere…I will follow on…}

Sometimes I have babies in my lap and it’s hard because she likes to comment too.
I love me comments. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing comments in my inbox.

I’m like you, sometimes I comment, usually I comment, but occasionally I just can’t think of anything to say, so I’m quiet.
So, here I am saying something back at ya! You in your big girl panties and me in mine. :o)

May 6, 2008 at 11:27 pm (15 years ago)When I go to read someones blog, there are times I can’t put my thoughts into words, then I think about how I feel when I look at my own blog and see no comments… so I end up with something that may sound stupid but at least they know someone is “stopping by”
So thanks for comments 🙂
