Greetings, my dear friends…
now, let me just say, no one, I mean NO ONE can belt out a song like Ms Brenda Lee!!!!
the reason there’s even a hint of “sorry” in this post, is that I want all those wonderful folks I follow to know that I’m so sorry I can’t get by your blogs more often!!! I just can’t help myself – when I see an awesome blog, I just MUST subscribe, so I never get to stay current with them all. But, I promise you, I do stop by every chance I get and do some catch up. I follow way too many bloggers, but I wouldn’t drop a single one!!! If you don’t believe me, check out my awesomeblogsIfollow page. Yup, I subscribe to every single one there!!! And I add to it regularly!!!
So, again, please be gentle and kind – I love you all and would not want to hurt anyone’s feelings because it feels like I have abandoned you/your blog!!! NEVER!!!!
So, there’s blog I’ve recently discovered that I really want to share. It is the blog of the famous (or infamous?) Peter Parkour (you know, Parkour)… anyhoo, he has an inspirational blog on which I “like” almost everything he posts!!! Take a peek, if you get a chance!!!
And, now to close this short post of miscellany, a Senryu:
Never, shall I don
an “invisible” burka!
Silent? Never more!

Yep, I know EGG-zactly (It’s Easter time coming up. OK?) what you mean. Every DAY another subscriber, another ‘mention” to check out and of course join. A number of bloggers that I’ve been in contact with are also trying to deal with / understand how to stay afloat. I am one of them. I spent all weekend just trying to catchup. Every DAY, instead of doing what I should be, I’m going through my INbox making NICE with everyone who has mad NICE with ME. I wrote a post a couple of months ago. Two spin-offs came from that and then another blogger started a survey last weekend. We all NEED to TALK. Isn’t communication what we’re all screaming about regarding other things. Surely, we can make it work here too! Check it out.
I am 200% behind your EGG-zactly!!! Of course, we knew there would be the enjoyment of others’ blogs in this endeavor, but I had not a clue as to how many egg-sellent bloggers there are to be found and deserve to be read!!!
I CAN promise you one thing – this shall never take on the weight of a chore or a duty – no matter how far behind I get, I will always enjoy both (all) sides of this blogging life – the writing AND the reading, not to mention the relationships so wonderfully developing!!!
Just popped over to read Sylvia’s post and I’m still nodding away in agreement… I so agree with the idea that friends made here are much more than acquaintances, because I try to be my real self, here in the blogosphere, and sometimes painfully so. So my readers are privy to more of how I really feel than those I see regularly IRL.
Her questionaire seems like another post in the making, so I may just do that. And thanks for the pingback & the intro. She seems like someone I’d like to get to know too.
OK, now I’m not even sure what day it is, but I’m pretty sure my inbox is full to overflowing and I can go delete last week’s alerts that I didn’t get to yet!!!
And, another confession, what really gets me, sometimes is reading through some very long comment threads, which are
asmore entertaining than most conversations I get involved with!!!Hope your week is wonderful. I hear blogging keeps ya young!!! (just made that up, but I like the sound of it!!!)

Hear, hear!!! I second these emotions.
You are right about Brenda Lee… especially when one considers her size; that huge voice bursting out of that tiny girl; she looked like she should sparkle when she sang….. Nice Senryu….
Thank you muchly, kind one… Indeed I can hear that voice booming out from the bottom of her toes!!!
I have been hesitant to allow any of my poetry, etc out to be seen, but, darn it – it’s about time – I surely don’t want to miss the opportunity altogether!!!

PS hope your technical woes are off the grid and you’re free of such frustrations!! I’d noticed many others at about the same time were experiencing similar shat.

Everything seems to be fixed, so far, knock on plastic wood… 🙂 I’ve got my wires, er, fingers crossed it stays that way…
silly… I only have pressed wood handy, so knocking on that for now…
🙂
Guilty as charged… and proud of my silly. At my age, it’s a major tool….
Love Brenda Lee – and glad to hear I’m not alone in my blogger guilt. So many blogs, so little time. There are so many talented writers out there – and many of those voices would otherwise never be heard if it wasn’t for the joys of blogging. We just have to keep making the blogger-rounds and visit as often as possible. Like writers everywhere, we all need an audience for validation and to feel connected to a bigger something. I enjoyed my visit to your blog.
How kind of you to stop by and comment Pat, Ms Boomerrantz!! I finally had to get this off my chest – every Sunday, as the Monday alerts loom, I feel so bad that I know I have missed someone whose blogs I read and flipped for at least thrice.
Nice to meetcha and you’re welcome anytime!!!

No need to apologize, BuddhaKat…
Keeping track of all blogs is a job in itself…
But it’s nonetheless always a pleasure to read you.
Le Clown
oh, you are, indeed such a kind clown, Le Clown… I too, enjoy with anticipation your posts and words of wisdom – the comments in so many blogs are just so good, too!!! In fact, sometimes, the repartee sends me into fits of giggles!!
🙂
janet
She could certainly belt out a song.
I know what you mean about so many blogs – so little time! Don’t despair
Just wander through when you can – it’s all anyone can do.
writing must come first – the reading is icing!
Always enjoy discovering what you’ve done here
thanks
You fill me with the warmth of your comments, Karen… and I’ll be over as I can too…
🙂
janet
Great tune!
And don’t worry about coming by me. As long as you keep posting, I’ll keep reading it.
What a gentleman you are, Guaps… but that’s why I follow folks like you cuz I WANT to get over… I shall continue to visit as I can, you can count on it!!! And how nice to know you’ll be by no matter what!!! Warms me in my heart!!!

BK, i am feeling you. I follow everyone who follows me and it’s a joy for me but I haven’t been able to read anything in the last three days and I am feeling very bad! I’m trying to catch up and spread some love so my followers know I still love them. But I simply was sick and tired. Really. And I had to work and carry on with all the life-stuff. Today is for blogland. I’m sorry too and the Brenda Lee song was perfect!!!
I KNEW it wasn’t just me… what is important to me is that all I follow understand the limitations of,time and real life and forgive the inconsistent visits to their awesome blogs!!!
thanks so much for your wonnderful comments, B!!!!
🙂
xoxo!!
I’m fairly new to the blogging world, but I’m discovering the same thing — trying to keep up with all the great blogs out there is challenging!
And wow! Your awesomeblogsifollow list is amazing, and daunting. Given how many blogs are on there, I’m impressed (and honored) that you’ve made time to visit (and comment on!) my blog as often as you have. Thank you.
And thank you for teaching me a new word, Senryu!
Well, then, Random, welcome to the awesome world of blogging… yes, it can be challenging, but I find inspiration in the many perspectives and such…
🙂
