I cannot recall how I came across your blog, but I imagine it was from reading comments of yours elsewhere. THAT'S where I feel like I got to "know" you--via comments. You are thoughtful...insightful...you READ the blog post and then comment well. You even read between the lines! It's clear you aren't just popping in to get "credit" for commenting somewhere. You're generous, you support other bloggers. So it's not just what you "do" here, it's what you do "out there" that keeps me coming back. Because I'm not a homeschooling mom, personally that's not why I read PTT; many of those posts I've enjoyed, but it's not why I read you. Pictures are nice (b/c they're easy to "absorb" and then share your thoughts), and it's always nice to eavesdrop on what's going on in your neck of the woods. Feed yourself, here...I think if you try to pinpoint what "we" want, you'll set yourself up for a kind of "failure"...too many diverse opinions in other words. Blogging...feedback...FEEDS something in me. It's a creative outlet. I wish I could spend more time reading more people. But the truth is, it necessarily HAS to be limited to maintain some sort of "relationship" with the few regular readers you enter into relationship with. Blogs with larger readerships aren't able to do that (the people behind the blogs). It's nice when you can. So there...a whole lot of opinion I'm not sure helps at all. I'm just glad you're in my sphere :). Great, Kelly…I’m not quite sure how to word what I wanna say. I cannot recall how I came across your blog, but I imagine it was from reading comments of yours elsewhere. THAT’S where I feel like I got to “know” you–via comments. You are thoughtful…insightful…you READ the blog post and then comment well. You even read between the lines! It’s clear you aren’t just popping in to get “credit” for commenting somewhere. You’re generous, you support other bloggers. So it’s not just what you “do” here, it’s what you do “out there” that keeps me coming back.

I keep coming back because I feel like I connected to you. I enjoy everything you share. I think what kept me coming back at first was how positive everything here is, I always walked away with something that made me feel inspired and/or generally happy. That's a real talent. How's that book coming? Sometimes we're on top of the big old wheel and other times we're running in front of it - schedules and life have a way of keeping that wheel and our position constantly moving.

So, I would say keep doing what you have been doing. Plus, human interaction is always nice I read blogs because of the different ideas of a blog people have.

Your life is so very different to mine - from homeschooling to work to the weather - and I love reading about the differences.
