I began blogging because I work alone all the time, but with the clatter of a few computer keys I can connect with like-minded souls all over the world...and I have. Sunita in India, Claudia in Guatemala, Ana in Portugal, Ronelle in France, Suzanne in South Africa...the list is endless and a true blessing. I love these people and feel that I could sit down and sip tea with them and share my innermost feelings.<br /><br />All joys to you,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-9572825649963058522011-04-19T02:51:05.606-04:002011-04-19T02:51:05.606-04:00I started blogging to document my prairie life and...I started blogging to document my prairie life and family but now my favorite thing about blogging is exactly what you highlighted.

And our connections and similarities far outweigh any differences, no matter where we make our home on this wonderful planet with all its beauty.<br /><br />For me blogging has almost surpassed being a passion to becoming an addiction - it's wonderful to connect with so many great people around the world.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-22341279050166340202011-04-17T14:58:42.219-04:002011-04-17T14:58:42.219-04:00Meeting people like you!

I launched my daily photo blog last year as a way to keep myself motivated with photography and to share my pics in a different arena other than Flickr. I enjoy taking the photos and writing the accompanying text as a creative outlet. Somewhere along the line, though, I started "meeting" other bloggers. And, as so many others have said, I've been drawn into their lives. I've discovered bloggers don't last very long, which I understand, since it can be time consuming. But, I always appreciate when a blogger announces that they're leaving rather than just vanishing. Otherwise, I'm left wondering what happened to them....even though we never met. Fascinating phenomenon, isn't it?SRQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076279765970764962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-2948593303493269432011-04-17T09:22:28.965-04:002011-04-17T09:22:28.965-04:00I love Nancy's blog and Homeschool on the Crof...I love Nancy's blog and Homeschool on the Croft too.

I followed your links and met some new people I would never have met on my own. <br /><br />Blogging done right takes time. Sometimes I don't have the time but am having other issues - from health to health. That seems to take most of my time and creative juices these days.<br /><br />Your post and pictures were very interesting to me this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-62845152718872550982011-04-17T05:51:57.004-04:002011-04-17T05:51:57.004-04:00Nice post.

What I have come to love about blogging is all the wonderful people you meet from all over the world.

Too often people on blogger concentrate on only one of these things.<br />I must personally thank you on behalf of all your followers for the time that you put into not only your own blog but other peoples too. I am sorry that I can only find the time to look and comment on your posts once a week but I had an emergency look in to this page to find out what todays unusual activity was on my stats. Just to show how I value your friendship.. when I wrote my 50th blog, I had a top 5 of favourite blogs and commenters, I think it's safe to say that you have moved up into that zone now. As you probably know, I also enjoy following George the Lad... great fun.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-30794216034496897252011-04-16T14:46:11.155-04:002011-04-16T14:46:11.155-04:00Oh I'm touched you put me or rather George on ...Oh I'm touched you put me or rather George on your blog.<br />You like me have found the same, we become friends from just tapping away at the key board, I love to visit and see your beautiful photos of where you live, I was touched that your daughter reads Georges blog to ;)<br /><br />Please wish your Mom and Dad a Happy Wedding Anniversary <br />from me and George<br />Have a good week<br />Jan xxxGeorge The Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153242284238986801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-40976398828837558292011-04-16T12:58:06.636-04:002011-04-16T12:58:06.636-04:00I could never give up all my friends from blogland...I could never give up all my friends from blogland.

She thought I would get something out of it by writing about things in general, or let off steam due to the way I and thousands of others were treated by the company they worked for.<br /><br />Photography became my thing. I liked it and wanted to know more but hadn't found the means to learn like you can by examining/comparing other works. Photo blogs are great for that. Like Birdman said, I follow him, it is the traveling to other places that you would probably never be able to see.<br /><br />Now, I'm more hooked on photography than ever, having software and gear is fun and we all need fun in our lives.<br /><br />I will never quit, it's my new job that I truly like and the company won't mess with me.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-10895978360870861582011-04-16T11:21:49.146-04:002011-04-16T11:21:49.146-04:00I'd bet that for most of us, whatever reason m...I'd bet that for most of us, whatever reason made us start to blog turned into something more wonderful and much bigger than we imagined it would at first! :)Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-41121986590996587502011-04-16T11:09:44.405-04:002011-04-16T11:09:44.405-04:00Good question.
