I'm back ~
And you're wondering what on earth I'm talking about because I haven't been gone anywhere right? Just over a year ago, I stopped commenting. In the past two days, I've made it around and left 64 comments. (Other than the ones I left here). That's about half my SIR. Most of you, haven't heard from me for most of the past year. I love reading your sites, and I love leaving comments. But just about a year ago, I reached a place where doing many of the things I loved simply took too much energy.
I dreaded the blogs that said that there was pain in your life simply because there was so much pain in mine that I couldn't absorb any more. I was a bad friend to have.
Time doesn't heal, but time at least helps to drain away some of the water that hides the sharp rocks. And I enjoyed reading your sites. Finding out what you've been up to. And DANG have you been busy! You've goten pregnant, married, published, promoted, moved, divorced, sick, well ... you've been living! And I'm very glad now to be hearing about it again.
I have a rather busy day today. I have two important meetings, plus I need to have a conversation with a guy on my team "promoting" him to the exciting world of working as an independent ...
I have promised myself that I will write a blog for Mr_Grainger's Buddy Contest. And I don't want the person I pick to be embarrassed, so I'll put some real thought into it.
I want to give people the head's up on this, because I think that tomorrow will be a special day around Xanga and the opportunity to read things that will give you a glimpse into some of the incredible people who make up this community. My problem today is that I have so many people to choose from and to whom I'm grateful because they have reached out and given me love and support through difficult times. The rules are pretty simple, you wite a blog about someone who has impacted you in a positive way, and let Mr_Grainger know. We're playing for a prize here.

I completely understand about stepping away from painful blogs - especially because they remind me of my own pain. I always liked a quote I once read on Xanga attributed to Seneca - "Time heals what reason cannot." Good luck on your writing endeavors!
You've been through a LOT yourself
I'm glad you're feeling better 
Glad you're feeling better, I read but don't comment much either.
I do the same thing and step away from xanga from time to time so I completely understand but I'm just happy as heck you around again and feeling better!
Thank you for your comments! You are so kind to me!
Welcome back
That Buddy contest sounds like a good idea.....too bad I'm not smart enough or cool enough for such a thing as that.
I'm so glad you did comment on Alice's blog yesterday...that's how I found you today. I was intrigued by your name, as I quilt also. I think I've read your blog once or twice before, probably when Tiffany Fitch was doing her contest.
Anyhow, I'm planning to come back and explore some more...when I have more time. I totally commisserate with and admire the not leaving comments. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I did the same. Did you lose many readers?
Take care! Lori
