Today I’d like to thank the thoughtful bloggers that wished me well this week as I fight through a cold. What a wonderful gift.
What I find most fascinating is that small interactions over time can truly turn into a friendship. I know the terms friend and friendship have changed meaning in our new virtual world, but the sentiment is still the same. Friends are people who care about one another. They may not talk every day, but the feeling is there.
It’s interesting. I have been blogging for a little over 3 years and it took me this long to figure it out. You have to engage with other people to open the door to friendship. If you write your blog postings and never interact with other people in the blogosphere, you will likely remain alone, other than the random like here or there. We all love comments and feedback. To get this feedback and receive comments you have to take the first step. At least that is what I have discovered.
So, THANK YOU! Lillie, CrazyKat1963, and K.M. Allan for your kind words of encouragement. I am grateful for our friendship. It truly means a lot to me. And this is where I will end my posting today.
Until next time…
Dave
Thank you for the shout-out, Dave. Totally agree with this post. I hope you’re on the mend now 😊.

Yep. I’m mostly over it now. I’ll give it another day or so of self-pampering, but yeah. I’m definitely on the mend.

You’re welcome. When I first started my blog, which is very obviously completely different from yours, I couldn’t believe anyone would follow me. When people started following and commenting, there was some fear that I couldn’t see or touch these people, but I felt vulnerable. I didn’t even know their real names most times. I also received some not so nice comments, and that was hard. But after fives years of blogging, I almost rely on my blog friend conversations now sometimes. I’ve learned so much through these friends and because I am who I am, I’ve traveled all the way to NZ to meet one very special blogging friend. I’ve met up with bloggers/blog followers in NY, FL, LA, GA, CA, OR, WA, and NC! It’s definitely been rewarding!
