Recently I've been remiss at answering your comments. You take time out of your days to cruise by and read what I've written, or look at the pictures, or visit a link I offer, or view the video clips I find, or listen to the music I post. Many of you have been here since that first post, and others have stumbled upon this place along the way.
I feel a sense of community with all of you. Early on in the process I made it my philosophy to answer comments. After all, you were moved to take a few extra minutes to write them. It's only right for me to respond.
I apologize for not doing that more regularly. The only excuse I have is that life has gotten busy. That's true, but more and more I understand that this blog is part of my life. So "life got in the way" is kind of a measly reason for not interacting with you when you so generously offer your thoughts to me.
I can't ignore the people and things in my brick and mortar world that need my attention. And I can't ignore the people and things in my virtual world that also need my attention.
So it comes down to balance, doesn't it? And after four years of having this place I realize that sometimes brick and mortar balances with virtual. Sometimes it doesn't.
You can depend on this...when the cycle of my life moves back into balance, I will answer your comments regularly. Until then, know that I read what you have to say to me and consider your words as much a part of this places as my own words and images and links and videos and music Sets.
You are my community.
