I have been at it since 2003, have "closed" my blog three or four times in those 8 1/2 years...have lamented the loss of the conversational nature of blogging. But I <i>am</i> a writer; at least, I fancy myself one. So though I have tried to give up blogging several times along, I find I just...can't. I hope you don't disappear from here, Terri. I enjoy reading your posts, appreciate your take on things of the Spirit. I would miss you if you stop writing. But you must do what feels right for you.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-24861852176810969462012-05-28T22:33:55.092-04:002012-05-28T22:33:55.092-04:00Thanks, Mary Beth.Thanks, Mary Beth.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-65894387864633976312012-05-28T22:14:44.362-04:002012-05-28T22:14:44.362-04:00Katherine, I have really appreciated your return t...Katherine, I have really appreciated your return to blogging, and that we have come to know one another in this realm.<br /><br />Jan, I do get that - not having words.

I have not been commenting here too often, because I don't seem to have many words anymore. I appreciate your sharing, your wisdom, and you. I would hate to lose this connection.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061517211101084120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-47451314920313910802012-05-28T18:42:05.355-04:002012-05-28T18:42:05.355-04:00Let me add my voice to those who would very much m...Let me add my voice to those who would very much miss your blogging, Terri. I have followed your journey, at least parts of it (given the intermittent nature of my own blogging), with an eagerness notable for two people who have never met!! Something about your honesty (we are both seeking authenticity, for sure), the same vocation and basic theology, your intelligence, and your outlook on life -- all have given me a sense of connection with you that I'd hate to lose.<br />KatherineKatherine E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06322364633534297714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-66625660401128222862012-05-28T18:35:27.394-04:002012-05-28T18:35:27.394-04:00Sherry - indeed, hindsight 20/20.

It is frustrating that the conversational nature of blogging has changed. I miss that a lot, too. But I still think that blogs are a great way for your voice to be heard. Just because people aren't commenting like they used to doesn't necessarily mean they aren't reading. Follow your heart, but know that you are heard here!Simply Janhttp://simplyjan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-27799984240960486432012-05-28T12:04:40.835-04:002012-05-28T12:04:40.835-04:00Thanks for writing this.

I have faced that so many times, yet you are right, in the end, the road not taken was the wrong one! I for one would miss your blogging. I do understand, since I find my blog is stagnant a lot, it doesn't grow in popularity it seems, and I feel some folks comment out of loyalty. But on the other hand, I have a lot of folks tell me that they read it, but are not the talkative types, and so I trust that my words are reaching an audience that appreciates it, even when they don't speak so much. You must assume the same Terri. I find that you hit the right note for me more than you might realize. You give me tools often to use in making the decision I am struggling with. Thanks so much.
