Hoping, wondering, waiting and hoping some more. Welcome back. You were missed and I am really happy you came out in a better place. I knew you could do it.<br /><br />Grimm <br />(Formerly Tommy Gunn from tommysdarkside.com)Grimstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820785620750907930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-74672363313331381262013-04-22T16:53:33.649-04:002013-04-22T16:53:33.649-04:00Vest - we both know I'd have to put that parro...Vest - we both know I'd have to put that parrot down.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-7396252503032203002013-04-22T16:52:58.538-04:002013-04-22T16:52:58.538-04:00Melina - yes yes yes!Melina - yes yes yes!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-81593001483044538582013-04-18T13:58:27.849-04:002013-04-18T13:58:27.849-04:00You're blogging!!

I know so...I've had similar thoughts recently. I know some bloggers who routinely delete an old blog and start over. I don't understand that. The past is certainly part of who we are.<br /><br />So I join you in appreciating the valuable, enriching, and embarrassing parts of blogging. And I say that it's good to see words here again. I did miss your raw and unvarnished perspective.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-14373755703906650882013-04-12T17:32:03.289-04:002013-04-12T17:32:03.289-04:00I think I just lost the habit.
When I was blogging...I think I just lost the habit.<br />When I was blogging a lot, I almost started seeing the world as a blog post. I'd have to write notes! But then as my life became crazy and I was making so many transitions, I lost the time to myself that I needed to write. And once I didn't have the discipline, I didn't have the words. I'm hoping to pick up the habit again, to carve out the time somewhere.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-40514545004364752262013-04-11T10:41:20.472-04:002013-04-11T10:41:20.472-04:009 years, me too!

I am like Mark, I lost the motiviation to blog when the comments stopped, and I think they stopped as people migrated to Facebook instead. <br /><br />I'm tickled pink that you are blogging again, because your posts are always interesting. :-)<br /><br />Haloscan!! I missed it so much when it went away!<br /><br />Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952256367617122972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-48039380548319726502013-04-11T07:05:02.335-04:002013-04-11T07:05:02.335-04:00Ditto.

Folks would rather read short posts from lots of people they had (happily) forgotten, rather than meaningful meanderings from those with whom their adult selves have discovered a commonality. That feeling of community was an unexpected side effect of having a blog. For me, once the comments stopped, so did most of my motivation. An alarming number of blogs just stopped, without explanation.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722639974320971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-78972567439945778502013-04-10T23:05:34.218-04:002013-04-10T23:05:34.218-04:00And yet here I find myself trying to click "L...And yet here I find myself trying to click "Like" on some of the comments above.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722639974320971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-89805788057530746582013-04-10T23:04:14.701-04:002013-04-10T23:04:14.701-04:00Glad to see you back out here.
