My Mom and I have tried to get our family in AZ to blog, family and friends everywhere to blog and if they do start one, they don't keep up. Everyone says they don't know how to post pictures, or do anything on it, but I think they just don't want to take the time to do it. Which is a bummer because it's sooo easy once you get it! I love blogging and at first thought, who the heck would read it! Little by little, I've found that a lot of people that I know look at it and really enjoy it. Tim had a family reuinion a few months back and little did I know, so many of them check out the blog and my Sugar Rush page, they just don't comment. It's nice for family and friends that you don't get to see all the time. I have really enjoyed reading your blog and love looking at the pics of your darling Grandbabies. I hope you never hit that delete button!<br /><br />I sure hope you can start feeling better, nagging pain is no fun at all. Congrats on the weight loss, that is so awesome!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639398303004898248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-3787924906518767272009-09-17T13:54:08.887-07:002009-09-17T13:54:08.887-07:00Hi Debbie, I wish I had read this post before I sa...Hi Debbie, I wish I had read this post before I sat here and ate this snickers bar .LOL<br />I have only recently met you and I want you to know that I am so glad I did, while reading this post, I was smiling because you just wrote my experience in blogging. I can't tell you how many times I would think about pushing that delete button. I can't tell you the times I would cry because it seemed no one wanted to visit me, especially when my family was to busy to visit, and like you I tried to get my family and friends to start blogging hoping we would all be this one big happy blogging family. lol Didn't happen!<br /><br />I am so thankful for the support that my dh gave me, he just wouldn't let me quit, and I am so glad that I didn't.<br /><br />Finally I asked myself this question, why do you blog? I decided that I blogged because like you I journal and always have enjoyed it so much.<br />I then decided I would blog for me, and just let the Lord lead me in what to do and say,not to seek others approval, and then It really became so much fun, I have met the most wonderful christian ladies, like you and have made the best friendships and have learned so much from everyone, and now I can't see my life without blogging.<br /><br /> I believe the Lord ordained this for "such a time as this" in my life. Thank you for sharing this today I am truly blessed, now I must go and read your other blog.<br />Blessings,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-23496470963567411772009-09-16T14:07:35.969-07:002009-09-16T14:07:35.969-07:00Hi Debbie! I, like you, have always been a writer...Hi Debbie! I, like you, have always been a writer. I have kept a journal for as long as I can remember. And I have written many poems and short stories. I have always wanted to send some of my things in to magazines and such, and maybe one day I will. I began to blog at the request of my daughter Gennifer, who had recently entered into the blogging world. At the time I began my blog, I called it Cakes by Kristin, as it was at a time I was making and beginning to sell my cakes and confections. But, life became quite complicated when it became necessary for me to watch my grandson full time. So, as my blogging brought so much enjoyment to me, I decided to simply call it something that better represented what I felt like my life was...SWEET!!! And then proceeded to blog away. I am an avid cook, and some days it is all about cooking, and I am a Mama to a big growing family that I adore, and many days it is all about that...and I love many arts, sewing, decorating, gardening, reading, quilting, etc...and so many days....about that. I have been a photography enthusiast for many years, and so, what a perfect way to mesh this into the rest. And of course, the bonus of allowing those I don't get to see as often as I would like, the peek into my growing family and my world. It is medicinal, and artistic, and also allows me to keep up to date with my girls long time friends and their growing families. I got Maryrose and Kristi to try it, and then boom, here we all are....BLOGGERS! Keep on keepin' on Debbie. And I hope your pain subsides as your fitness level increases. Which, for me as well, is something I am working on!!<br />Big hug your way...and I am so excited to read that your Melly is coming to see you!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-59259435438160457752009-09-16T12:54:55.951-07:002009-09-16T12:54:55.951-07:00Hi! Thanks for your comments on my blog today. I...Hi! Thanks for your comments on my blog today. I can so relate to your post today! When I first started blogging hardly anyone was reading it except for my hubby whom I had to remind him every other day that I had a blog! But slowly people have noticed me and I have made so many wonderful friends through blogging. And I have often said on my own blog the same thing you said, I will meet them all one day in heaven. <br /><br />I also suffer daily with pain from stenosis in my spine and a few herniated discs and a few other things. My doctor also has pretty much told me to just live with it. It's very hard some days and can be quite depressing. I understand completely what you're going through! Good job on losing the weight! <br /><br />Keep on blogging. It really helps! Enjoy your day!Lois Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769791435665904180noreply@blogger.com
