It appears that people do read my blog. They are just not official followers and don't make comments on the fun stuff. Actually, they don't make comments at all. I get notified in other ways. You know what? It is fine. But I feel the need to make this clear: my blog is my feelings, thoughts, musings, etc. about my life. My husband and daughter get mentioned quite a bit. Other friends and family may get mentioned tangentially or in passing. I try to avoid passing judgement or writing about controversial family issues. Believe me, there have been a few posts that I have written and re-written before finally deleting because I did not feel right about them.
I cleared up the issue already but I am a bit nervous that someone else has read something and is now upset with me about what I wrote. If you are, well, you probably don't want to hear my first reaction. But seriously, have enough faith in me to know that if I have something specific to say to you, I will. And remember that this blog is how I am tracking my personal journey through life; the good, the bad and the ugly. And sometimes the really painful. Thanks for listening. xo

That post - it just made want to leave a comment.
A week ago, I set up my husband's first email account for him since college. (He just doesn't go online except for work, and he doesn't do Facebook or email or anything like that.) So I sent him an email so that he wouldn't feel "left out" of cyberspace.
Well, in my email signature, I have a link to my blog. He has never read my blog before, so he decided to check it out.
It just so happened that I had posted an entry about a major art exhibit near me that was arranged by a former business partner of mine who I find to just be a toxic person, can't get along with, and so I was trying to figure out if I should just suck it up and go to the opening or skip the opening and go later in the week when it would be quieter.
My husband read the post and said, "I can't believe you said those things! What if someone READS that?!"
"Ummm, that's sort of the point..."
I hope this made you smile a little! :-)
Yes, it did! The funny thing about the particular post was that I purposely edited out what I had originally written because, even though I had some strong feelings on the topic, I wanted my blog post to be about me.
I think what made me most upset was that I never get a comment to say they LIKE something. Only the negative reactions come up. Oh well!
