A New Thing: Comment Mob!

       So this whole blogging world is such a cool experience.  My blog has been huffing and puffing along for several years but it wasn't until last summer that I plugged myself into the larger blogging community.  What a fun surprise that was (and that is significant coming from me since I have been known to write about my perceived lack of surprises in the empty nest  years....) .  For sure, I have been touched by the connections among bloggers.  We share our good days and our tough days and we appreciate our individual voices.  In all likelihood I will never actually meet up with the blogging friends but we can still be a supportive community.


      One of my first blogging pals from last summer was cdnkaro at  fourunder4plustwo  This woman is amazing. She is wondermom to four small children (right there you got me), she is working on her Ph.D (got me again!), she has a translating business, and she writes about it all with humor and warmth.  Imagine this:  she's been a tad overwhelmed lately so some of her blogging friends are mobbing her today with good wishes and thoughts. She gives so much to her blogging friends and we want her to know she has been missed and is appreciated.  So, stop on by and visit her here.  Say hi and make yourself a new friend!


cdnkaro likes my art so this one is for her!

    Yay! Thanks for passing this along! It is so great to be able to make a gesture for a fellow traveler, isn't it?

    Me too! Comments so make my day no matter what someone says, and when they are funny or encouraging, all the better!

    Awww, thanks JT. You're the best. That painting totally made my day- my favourite colours, a favourite artist. What more could I ask for? Except perhaps a "follow by email" option on your blog as I rarely am able to actually read blogs that don't come to my inbox. Thank you again, my dear JT, for your kind words and your virtual hug!

      Hey! I hope your days stay bright - breathing is important (if only I could follow my own advice). I did add a Follow by Email thingy which should be on here - are you not finding it?

      Found it! I always look for them on the sides, have never seen one on the bottom. Thank you!!

    This was a great idea, wasn't it? I left a comment at her site.
    I know there are blogs that specialize in what one of my students calls "nastygrams," but I am incredibly glad that we have found a corner of blogging where support for each other is the norm!

      Me, too, Melanie. I feel sorry for the people who turn to the internet to spew nastiness rather than kindness. The returns are so much better our way.
