In the long run blogging is all about what's manageable and what you can sustain. I seem to be connected with a fairly hardy group of blog friends here, but my greater experience is that it's all pretty fleeting and ephemeral. I don't quite get why it tends to be such an all or nothing thing, though.<br /><br />My sister, cousin and friend are probably on a plane to Argentina at this moment. If they report back, I'll see if I can find a way to make it relevant here...seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054888927218536027.post-1339010838331337432013-03-20T15:53:57.857-07:002013-03-20T15:53:57.857-07:00I would mind!

I don't really mind if people don't weigh in here, but if I'm jut commenting somewhere and there is no reply ever, it doesn't seem to be particularly wanted. At the same time, though, I know that a lot of bloggers aren't really in this for the back and forth, and a lot of readers aren't either. It's more like reading magazine articles in that way, I guess. To each their own. But I'm more about finding the conversationally likeminded bloggers and commenters like you.<br /><br />All just to say, I suppose, that I am pretty happy with the way things are. seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054888927218536027.post-11181029241145896772013-03-18T10:50:36.530-07:002013-03-18T10:50:36.530-07:00Yes!

It's a way to express one's own thoughts or curiosity or quirky joys and to connect to other like-minded people--meaning people who write (on an endless variety of topics).<br /><br />I have learned so much from you. It your charm and your own delight in discovering the meanings of words that brings me back. <br /><br />And your willingness to connect. You read and comment on my blog, too. I've found I don't stay connected to a lot of blogs where I've reached out, in joy and delight and praise, and there's no reciprocity.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054888927218536027.post-23283818903303870652013-03-16T13:26:05.892-07:002013-03-16T13:26:05.892-07:00Well, Julie, I think you are probably doing enough...Well, Julie, I think you are probably doing enough writing without blogging too at the moment.<br /><br />I should say that those it was nice that they found my blog, and asked to include me, in fact, anyone can apply to be part of their digest. I didn't include their name above because my musings have very little to do with them, but if anyone's interested, they can send me an email. seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054888927218536027.post-85929855863621620802013-03-16T00:24:36.770-07:002013-03-16T00:24:36.770-07:00I think this is a crucial question for many of us ...I think this is a crucial question for many of us who blog. But in a way , to me, it's like most writing. Why am I doing this? Who really cares? However, with Blogging, for me, it's a way of recording my life like I used to do in journals and diaries. Both seem so tedious now, sadly. <br /><br />I worry often that I'm wasting my time, but then later, reading over the posts, I see where i was and where my head was at in the moment. And even without readers, it's a good thing to do.<br /><br />Congrats on the invite by the way!Julie C Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819620461769996658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054888927218536027.post-1865453674868190452013-03-15T20:55:27.070-07:002013-03-15T20:55:27.070-07:00Argentina?

Not only is your country suddenly thrust into world attention via the new pope, but my sister, cousin and a close family friend are taking a trip there next week! <br /><br />That's a good way to describe blogging. It's kind of like a journal of your own experiments and kind of like a letter and kind of like a newspaper column. All in all, it's an interesting new form. <br /><br />And thanks for popping in here now and again.

In these times where it is easy to be eaten out by the impersonal urban society, it is also a way to recover the art of conversation, so I bet you have the best reasons to keep it up. And in the meantime, I will be happy reading your thoughts now and then, chipping in some comment when I feel I need to. <br />Greetings from Argentina!Hugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789648824377376021noreply@blogger.com
