Curly cloud! I can't believe I forgot to mention the best thing about yesterday!
Some of you might know that I've been writing a blog on Myspace since 2006 which has chronicled the ups and downs of my life. Among many other things, I have written about my adventures in online dating and the rollercoaster that was my previous relationship.
I've gathered a small but loyal band of readers on there and yesterday I got an email from one of them in response to the news that I was planning to move the blog from Myspace to Blogger.
She said that she read them back when she was "single and lonely" and struggling to balance life as a single mother to a special needs child.
"I would creep into my little room, while my son slept soundly and read your dating adventures and laugh. It was all exciting and I got a bit addicted at one stage of my boring life as I never got out that much because of [her son's condition], and my work and just basically balancing life as a single mum....So thanks for making me laugh and maybe feel a bit sad reading your blogs...I feel your frustration sometimes, and happiness. Thank you."
I was so touched. Blogging - particularly personal blogs - can be a very self-indulgent exercise, but it's so gratifying to know that your ramblings mean something to someone else, even if they are just a distraction and some light relief at the end of a hard day.
It's a wonderful feeling knowing your words - something you have created - can make an impact.
as you know i've been an avid frisky-follower for a couple of years now, and i for one am eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the all new frisky adventures!
ReplyDeletei love your honesty and candid writing, filled with humour and, at times, pathos. thankyou so much for continuing to let us out here in the ether peek into your world - on ALL your blogs :)
hugs oxoxoxo
It most certainly can. I, for one, get a tingle just reading your blog (s) and one of the reasons I follow this one, is because it's a positive place to be and it's heartwarming to read your efforts to be gleeful. I follow a lot of blogs, here and there, on the infinite spaces of the Net, but some I have discarded as mandatory reading due to their troubled, problematic and difficult tone. I come here, because it's light and breezy, whilst no means supericial. Well done. Happy birthday Glee!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely would be a good feeling. That's really touching!
ReplyDeleteI heartily support the proposed move, and always enjoy reading your blog, so don't stop any time soon. :) :)
