I have only had my blog a few months and I admit, I always feel like I'm "behind" in some way; never posting enough, never reading enough, never involved enough and like everyone else has more time and is better at balancing all this than I am. I know it's wrong to constantly compare yourself to other people so I can't tell you how much I appreciate your post and the awesome reminder to stop stressing about this stuff! That we really blog for the fun of it, to feel supported and understood - and happy :) This was really beautiful and insightful, love that your dad got it as well!Annahttp://www.themommypadawan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-50893570084727306122012-02-06T15:17:26.255-08:002012-02-06T15:17:26.255-08:00OK Dad.... xoOK Dad.... xoJennifer Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543609958581052245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-78767503764455876892012-02-06T14:47:28.110-08:002012-02-06T14:47:28.110-08:00She gets it all from me.

For me it's been such a great support system in my recovery process. I spend so much time in the hospital and it's great to know there is always someone out there on Twitter to help keep me company.

As I am very new to blogging and still somewhat green about it. I started to realize I love the followers because that is exciting but the truth is I would actually like people to read what I write. Since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a writer. At this stage of my life this is the only way and outlet I found for that. I find that my skills still need a lot more to improve upon but I can tell you I am not here for the giveaways or you follow me so I follow you. I am realized just a few days ago actually I am truly interested in some people's blog and others not so much. I love to write, I love comments, but most importantly I feel I do for a creative outlet. If that's narcisstic than so be it. Right! :) Thanks for sharing this post. I appreciate it. <br /><br />HeatherHeather Margaziotishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427136675551267422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-22832387266101438512012-02-03T20:29:27.731-08:002012-02-03T20:29:27.731-08:00Yay!

It is a happy one, but I am a bit reflective and remorseful so not sure if it is TGIF material. But then I read yours and it is like we are twins!! I find blogging a pleasure and all, but I struggle with not being a good bloggy friend. I know everyone is understandable and supportive, but I just feel like I should reciprocate more.

It should be beneficial in some way, not stressful . . . a release, a way to connect, a way to find support or validation. Whatever the reasons for it, if it has become a chore or just adds stress then it is time to take a break . . . step away from the computer. <br /><br />Love ya Jen with one "n"!!! Keep doing what you are doing and thanks for all of your amazing support. :) xxxx<br />JennFox in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163309708157436213noreply@blogger.com
