I am sure we all have insecurities and now you have given us a forum to express them without fear combined with an opportunity to get to know others who share our passion for writing and the insecurities that often come with that passion.<br /><br />I have missed reading your blog. You probably don't remember me as I was blogging sporadically until I neglected to renew my domain name. LSS- I lost all content including friends followers etc.<br /><br />I am starting from scratch &I feel like I have found a great place to start. I am looking forward to 10/6 so that I can join in.<br /><br />I hate that you lost a friend over something beyond your control. We learn who are true friends are when situations like this occur.<br /><br />Very nice dedication. You are a genuine & good person. The real deal.<br /><br />Take care<br />Melissa SugarMelissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-12504447471411515512011-09-12T12:38:57.953-04:002011-09-12T12:38:57.953-04:00Laila, thanks!

There are only so many things that you have control over in a friendship. The rest lies in the other persons hands. They are equally responsible for the relationships success. So let your friends know they are important to you and hope that they understand your particular brand of humor and interaction. If they know you, they will understand.<br /><br />Bucket<br />guessingandkeepingstill.blogspot.comBuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748564102007650422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-81275178100816547382011-09-10T10:49:04.910-04:002011-09-10T10:49:04.910-04:00Kinda not sure, never did anything like this. so I...Kinda not sure, never did anything like this. so I am lost.

While my energy levels are improving they just aren't up there enough. So my visits to my normal list are hit and miss. Some times a day or two late. I do try to get to everyone at least once or twice a week.<br /><br />You have a great idea here, Alex. BTW, if you need a review? Count me in. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-15606101936569015482011-09-09T06:57:55.194-04:002011-09-09T06:57:55.194-04:00Monti and Joyce, thanks!
