I’ve said for ages that one thing that keeps me going on this blogging journey is that it’s a form of therapy for me.\u00a0 It helps me get thoughts and ideas out of my head.\u00a0 It lets me use a part of my brain that I may not get to flex much otherwise.\u00a0 And sometimes it’s a lot of fun.\u00a0 So yes, I do a lot of this for me.<\/p>\n
But, at the same time, if I never intended anyone else to see it I would put these thoughts in a journal, not a website anyone can access.\u00a0 I do think about people reading what I write. Sometimes I even had a specific person in mind that I hope will read a specific post and\/ or that I imagine reading it.<\/p>\n
This past week I had two people reach out to me privately to tell me they appreciated sometime I had written. Neither are people that I had any idea even looked at my blog at all, let alone to the extent that they both stated they did!\u00a0 \u00a0While I’m rarely at a loss for words, I don’t have the right words to express how much their comments meant to me.\u00a0 It meant more than either of them will ever know.<\/p>\n
So, to everyone else who sometimes or frequently swings by my little corner of the interwebs, I thank you.\u00a0 I hope you’ll come back again and find more of what you are looking for in my random musings and observations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
