Try

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!
