Yes, I know that feeling, Lauren. Sometimes we can’t help but write! I’m glad you continue to write in your space.

Thanks, Maria. Blogging is indeed a journey. Many blessings to you along your own journey!

Thanks for the very kind words, Lisa!

When a blogger takes a break, the upside for us as readers is when we see them return! 🙂 It feels like a friend coming back to the hometown again. It’s been fun seeing how many of us use writing blogs as cathartic exercise. I wouldn’t have predicted that years ago when I started, but it’s proven true time and again.

I’m so glad your “keeping on” outweighs the “stops,” Linda. The internet would be a more forlorn place without your gentle yet strong voice in it. I appreciate your beautiful heart and faith that you share on your blog and in the comments you make around the blogosphere!

You’re a great example of why we bloggers keep our comments open. 🙂 I always appreciate the thoughtful words you share here, Lynn. I can count on you to be truthful with your opinions as well as helpful in pointing me to other resources too. You’re a real treasure and I’m so grateful for you!

Thanks, Harry! I’m so thankful to have discovered your blog along the way. You’ve both spared me a few books and hooked me on a few books as a result of your thoughtful reviews. I’m easily swayed by your opinions! 🙂 I appreciate the clarity and thoroughness of your writing.

Aside from the wonderful community, this is one of my favorite reasons to blog too: “Writing leads to clarity and wisdom.” So glad to have met you through blogging, Jean. You could be one of the longest blogs I’ve been following through the years! We started at almost the same time. I glean so much from the wisdom and experience you share on your blog.
