New Friends

When Jane at Posy listed my blog as one of those that she reads I thought my chest was going to burst with pride. Such a compliment from someone whose life and lifestyle I've come to admire so much. And then today, catching up on my blog reading, I discovered that Liz at Mabel's House had featured my site in a post. Again, almost to tears with feeling so honored.

I don't mean to be dramatic about this, but I really put my heart and soul into my posts. It was a huge effort for me to put myself out there — for the world to see — with my passions, my faults, my thoughts, my family. And when you get recognized by a fellow blogger who bares herself just as much, if not more, than you . . . it feels very intimate, like the miles between just melt away. And there's a friendship there that couldn't have been possible were it not for this wonderful medium of sharing. I am grateful to those I've met and come to cherish.
