Just the thought of coming back to that pressure sends me into hiding again. Isn't that sad? When did blogging become such a chore? I've told myself that I can come back when it doesn't feel like a chore anymore but it's hard to ignore that compulsive feeling to comment on everything (I've always thought--if people don't leave comments, how do they know we're listening?). Woops, sorry for the mini-rant. :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-60688228916088444262010-01-07T10:38:00.604-05:002010-01-07T10:38:00.604-05:00You accomplished so much in one year.

Use us as your practice to discover that you don't have to comment on everything and actually survive! Then maybe you will be able to peruse blogs without feeling so guilty.

I cannot comment on all posts, but I do try to visit blogs that I love regularly and post something meaningful (that is, if my brain is functioning on more than 2 hours of sleep).Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91089492941492331612010-01-04T00:08:19.501-05:002010-01-04T00:08:19.501-05:00Happy New Year, Sandy!

You ARE a pro! (I'd like to put tabs--or the equivalent on my blog too, but am way too technologically challenged)<br />As for comments, you are one of the best out there, and it is wonderful to know you have visited--you always leave a smile behind!<br />But you can't be everywhere at once (though I think if anyone could, it would be you)...I know there are times when I long to leave a message at someone's blog but can't find the words, and sometimes there are discussions that are simply beyond me. I think we all just do the best we can.<br />You set the bar so high for yourself--and you reach it every time. I am awed by that!<br />Best of everything to you in this new year--I'm excited to learn about all of your new adventures, literary and otherwise!!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-24426806422716024992010-01-03T21:59:05.886-05:002010-01-03T21:59:05.886-05:00Your year was amazing Superwoman!

I very much enjoy your blog and look forward to reading your posts every day. Thank you for your support and friendship as I move into the second half of my first blogging year!<br />I understand how you feel the need to eat healthier and try to live a little healthier. Being about the same age as you, I feel the same way. And living a basically sedentary lifestyle makes living healthier a bit of a challenge. So, please, walk a few blocks for me this year! LOL<br /><br />I cannot wait for your reviews on "Fingersmith" and the Haruki Murakami book you are reading now. I am planning to read - I should say, hoping! - to read both this year!<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and your family, Sandy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-3070112120578021592010-01-03T13:00:10.610-05:002010-01-03T13:00:10.610-05:00You've had a great year!You've had a great year!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-85870470082972829712010-01-03T12:16:03.480-05:002010-01-03T12:16:03.480-05:00I need to work on commenting more!
