Unforgettable, An Online Read & a Letter to Readers


Day 25: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget (good or bad).
I can't really remember anything specific, but when I announced my separation on facebook, I had this huge outpouring of support. Everyone told me what a great person I was and that it would all work out. It was just so meaningful for me to hear that, to be able to go back and read them later. It still touches my heart to remember how many people were there for me in so many different ways.


Day 26: Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you'd like.
I read this blog earlier this week and almost cried at my desk. Sometimes I really feel that way, like my kids just can't get close enough. Never happens the day that I want to cuddle them, and usually happens the day I have so much to do. This blog was just a reminder to stop and enjoy those moments. Let my kids enjoy their mom, let them hold hands when they want and cuddle when they will. What do you think of that post?


Day 27: A letter to your readers.
To my loyal readers: I thank you so much for sticking with me. There are some who have been reading since I started. The fact that you have stuck through my periods of non-blogging, the whiny posts, the drama that seems to follow me. I love that I have been able to open up about my faith and about my struggles. Not once have I had to remove a mean comment (or not publish one). Sometimes the support overwhelms me. I have made more bloggy friends that I ever thought I would. I used to be ashamed of being a blogger, but not anymore. Thank you to my readers for being there for me. Thank you for the comments that sometimes make me laugh out loud. You may not be the reason I blog (I do that for me!) but you are some of the main reasons that I keep at it. 

Thank you again, and hope to see you all commenting soon!!

PS If you didn't notice, I love comments almost as much as I love chocolate!

  1. So true! Little Man never wants to "snuddle" (as he calls it) when I want to--but waits until my hands are full or I'm focusing on dinner. I say, let dinner burn--he'll only be three once.

    1. That blog just really struck a cord with me.
