I started blogging a while ago and it has been a great experience for me. Shannon got me started and I'm really glad that she did. It gave her and I a chance to get closer again and not to mention she kicked started my butt on the Tummy Tuck Club. But that isn't all that I have gained from writing this blog.
Patty posted a blog the other day and it was really sweet of her. With all that is going on with her dad, I sent her a card with a little angel. I hoped that the card would bring a little smile to her face and show her that she has a friend way on the other side of the states that cares about her.
I feel that I have gained several friends since having this blog. Granted I know Shannon and Lisa in real life and I have met Steph because she works with the parent of one of my students, but there are more friends on here that I have never met, yet I consider them a friend. I have never met Jen, Julia, Patty, or Shawna in real life, but I feel like they are good friends to me. I feel like I have met them before because we read each other's blogs and we know what is going on in each other's lifes through that. Maybe that's why I feel like we are friends. I genuinely care about them and the things that happen in their lives. I hope that they all feel the same about me. It's nice knowing that there is support out there even though I have never actually met them.
When I am having a bad day, my first thought is to come here and write about it. I might want opinions about what to do or just want someone to comment and say they too had a crummy day. But what I have noticed is that sometimes I can't wait to get a comment back from one of you because I truly value your opinions and thoughts. It's like I'm waiting for a friend to return a phone call or something. I find that sometimes I tell you guys more than my friends that are actually around me in my everyday life. It might be because you don't know me in person or because I just trust you all as friends. Either way, it's nice to know that I have that support.
So Shannon, Steph, Jen, Julia, Patty, Shawna and Lisa....thanks for being such wonderful friends...even if for now it is only in the blogging world!
(PS this blog made so much more sense in my head...sorry if it's a bit rambled)

You are such a sweetie. I am thankful for your friendship as well and it means a lot that you feel like this.
You are not rambling at all. I know exactly what you mean. I feel closer to you guys, more so than other friends in "real life". I hope you know I care about the things that go on in your lives. I want to meet you so bad...all you guys...maybe dome day :)
I consider you a good friend too. I have missed you guys so much this past month when I have been busy with family and traveling. I love your comments too and feel the same way. Thank you for such a sweet post you made my day!
I totally feel exactly the same way. It's crazy how close you get to people via the internet... Who woulda thunk it?! :-D
