Blogging, Family and Friends in our livesDo you ever go to the Friends page on your login page and you have bloggers who have made you their friend, and you don't have time to go look at their blog, so you just add them?And then you never go and look at their blog. Or, you look real quick and then you don't have time to check again... for - maybe - ever? Well, I received a comment from an HSB2 blogger today, and I went to her blog. I loved the post she did about things they "shelter" their children from. I have read many similar posts from several of you. I have written a few myself. She did a rather good job of talking about things like TV, going to town, worldly influences and reasons they have home church. A lot of what she said is how we live, too. Some of it I wish we did more of. It was refreshing. Of course, I checked my Friends' list on my Homestead blog sidebar, and there she is, right there... and I hadn't visited her blog, as far as I can remember. Pathetic, huh? Actually, it's more my loss, since there are so many blogs out there that are worth a daily read.... Wa-a-a-y too many, I know!! So, as much as I don't have time to read *all* of your blogs, my friends, I do try to stop by. Sometimes I leave a comment, sometimes I don't. I actually haven't been commenting too much, anyway, let alone actually getting to *read* posts. I have had to make myself sit down and post or even read the girls' posts (which I find I thoroughly enjoy when I do!). A local friend who reads my blog emailed me today to see how I was doing, since she noticed I have 20 days left 'til Baby arrives on my counter. *20 days!* now it's down to 18!! ... is *that* why I have been going -going -going?? Is that why I am so concerned about getting everything ready, washed, bought, cleaned, etc.??? And, why I haven't blogged much lately. We *did* get a new laptop; hallelujah; praise the Lord; I am so thankful. I have been on it a bit, but mostly for set-up and file transfers so I can work on school, etc. I check my Sitemeter Log occasionally, and I am amazed at all the people from all over the world who visit. I see some places that come up every week or so - some I know, some I don't, and I wonder who you are. It is a great thing, to be able to find like-minded friends from all over... I am so glad the girls and I are a part of a blogging community - one that stretches beyond hsb, even. I am glad my family can come over to my blog and the girls' and find out all of the details about what we are doing *on the homestead* and in our faith and homeschool. I could hardly believe that yesterday marked 1 year of blogging here at hsb. We have made friends. We have met friends IRL. We have grown in homeschooling and the Lord. Thank you for being a part of that! So, take some time to visit your friends' blogs. Visit a new friend you haven't visited yet. If you don't have a blog, visit some of *my* friends on my sidebar. Sometimes we just can't get to all of them, and sometimes, we have favorites we get to daily, but it is a good thing to meet and share with others, bless others and let them know someone is listening sometimes. Then again, sometimes, we are the ones that need the visits. I love getting comments. I'm sure you do too. So, Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful day!!
