Happy Bloggiversary to me!
Posted: Thursday, October 28, 2010 by Travis Cody inTrav's Thoughts began on 28 October 2006.
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.
Check the top of my side bar to your left and click on any of the Peace Globe links for all the information you need to participate in this year's Blog Blast for Peace. Or go directly to Mimi Writes and click any of the links just beneath the blog header.
If you need help with your Globe, let me know in comments.
You know you want to join us. Come on. Do it.
I believe that words have power, so this matters.
