CLARIFICATION

It's been very interesting reading your responses to my last post. Not all were necessarily positive to my new approach. That's good. I respect that. But I feel clarification is in order.

1). In no way am I saying not to blog about your life. If you don't blog about your life, than really what is there to blog about? I still intend to blog about my life, just not on the skimming the surface level I felt like I was doing before. Did you read the, all be it, random example I gave? I hope to tell you what I did, as well as tell you how I felt. I'm hoping to be a bit deeper than I was before.

2). In no way am I dictating how you should write your blog. I was simply stating what I wish more people would do. It's your blog and you have the right to do with it what you would like. If it's fulfilling the purpose you wish it to in your life, than be fine with that and move forward. I do recall saying that blogs fulfill a multitude of purposes.

3). I have no intention, nor do I hope, that my blog will be a negative venting spot. I just hope it's something that is more truthful and true to who I am and how I feel (so on occasion it may have a negative tone). There will obviously be things I will not share here in this forum. Somethings are to be kept to self and shared in a journal only for you. I just hope to connect with my fellow bloggers - most of whom are my friends in real life separated by great distances - on a level I feel I've lost.

4). No matter what your style of blogging, I will still check in on you and leave comments now and then. You are my friends after all and I am extremely loyal. If you ever doubt that, just ask my husband who has seen me truly mourn the loss or lack of reciprocation from those I hold dear. Nothing pains me more, so I would never intentionally do it to another.

(Big Sigh)

O.K.. Can we move forward now?

Wow Meg, if I didn't know any better I'd say you had a bit of an opinion that you'd like to express!:)
Sorry I've been one of those non-reciprocators--it's been a very long year so far. Hope all is well on your end!
