Ok, I have SO been neglecting this place. Just look at the cobwebs around here. I need to tidy up and get back on track. I see that I'm not alone. A lot of my faves aren't keeping up with their blogs like they used to. I suppose it's to be expected though. Life changes new responsibilities arise.
I've thought about giving up the blogging thing all together. I don't come around here as much as I used to. I used to post every day. I used to sign in to check for messages a billion times a day! Facebook seems to have filled that constant update need. It's fun! As Lorna has reminded me though it doesn't have the same emotion. The reason I haven't packed it all in here is because of YOU. The few that still come around are the very reason I don't leave. I feel this connection to you. A connection that I don't want to sever. Even though we haven't met in person we have peered into each others lives. I've read about the births of your children, the changing of jobs, surgeries and new homes. I have become invested in you. I want to hear about your triumphs I want to encourage you when you are low. I don't think I have been doing that very well lately.
I'm going to make a better effort. I'll try not to be discouraged by the people on my list who don't post anymore. I don't know that I'll look for new people but I don't want to lose the handful that are still around.
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

I hope you stay. There aren't all that many of us left and I can tell you from experience that it feels empty when you leave. That's why I just couldn't stay gone. It might not be what it once was but it's still a connection to people you might not ever be associated with in your daily life.
With Sprinkle gone and you fading in and out, I may have to go too. I'm on facebook but it just doesn't do for me what blogging does.
I feel terrible now for not keeping up with my blog!!
The main reason I don't blog any more is time. Now I'm a working mum free time is at a premium and even now Zoe creeps up and puts down the screen on the laptop so she can have a cuddle! Also the main thing that's been happening in my life is something that I can't broadcast to the world, as you know. I can't discuss work on the blog because we all know what happened to Dooce. Facebook makes it so easy just to ping off a one-line status to let people know what you're up to.
I may blog again, I've been trying to write a post for the other blog for the past week and half so watch that space!!
