Well Tabor at One Day At A Time and Mage at Postcards have really gotten a lot of us thinking about why we write our blogs. Me, too. I began writing KATHY'S PEACE a few years ago because of the nudging, prodding, okay, downright harangue of one Cheryl at MyLadeda. At the time I did it because of the novelty, now that I've left my classroom and all my wonderful colleagues, it's an important connection to me; a reminder that I'm not alone.
I don't post as many of you do - on a daily basis. I wait until I have something to share. And I must admit when I log on and see "comment awaiting moderation" I am overjoyed! Pathetic, huh? But it's true. I wish I attracted more comments, but the ones I do get are profound and heartfelt, and I'm thankful.
Both Tabor and Mage have brought into question the effect their -- I guess all of our blogs -- have on others. I think these talented scribes might sometimes overlook the fact that a kind word, an interesting photo, a crafted phrase have the effect of ripples on a pond. Their pasts, their posts continue to change us all. And more than this, we've all made friends -- people we would have never met. Amazing...
