I know this one girl.
She used to have this really great blog.
This blog…gave her such simple pleasures.
She had wonderful friends that she loved.
She had a wonderful time on this blog.
But then…
that blog became sick.
It had an incurable disease called…unwanted family lurkers.
Once a blog gets this horrible sickness…it’s pretty much all over.
So…the girl…she had to say goodbye to this blog.
And she was sad. And she cried. And she carried on. For days. And days.
Until one day, she woke up in the middle of the night with an idea to start a new blog.
And she came up with a…ahem…FABULOUS name for this blog…
where she started over.
But…she wasn’t able to spend all her days blogging anymore.
She couldn’t visit all of her friends that she loved.
So slowly…actually…very quickly…they kind of, well…
disappeared.
And she realized that, perhaps…they really weren’t friends at all.
She was OK with that.
Because her real friends stuck with her. Even though she didn’t visit them often. They still came over to chat with her.
And she loves these friends. Because, it seems that they get it. They understand that life gets busy. They understand that this girl visits them as often as she can.
And the girl…want to say THANK YOU.
Because this girl has been so sad lately. That the new blog with the FABULOUS name…is getting less and less loving.
But this girl I know…she knows that she has stuff to say. This girl is going to keep talking. Even if there aren’t 350 visitors a day…listening to what this girl is saying.
She is honored that she still has those few friends that still choose to hang with her.
And it is to these friends that I present the award at the top of this post to.
Thank you. For sticking with me. I love you!!
Leave you?! Not read the lovely poems you write? HA! Not a chance I’m stickin with you till you get rid of me…..but don’t do that… =)
this girl loves you too…life is busy..no worries…just craziness.
Dude. You haven’t been to my blog in forever. Right?
Im still here. I just dont have time to comment everyday. Honest to GAWD truth.
still here…
I think I know the same girl. but I’ve known her way to long. I think I’m gonna leave her. on second thought… I have too much invested now. I think ill stay. but only cuz I’m too lazy to go anywhere.
Hope you know I’m here or over there….always!
I came back too you first as soon as I had a new computer!!!! Missed reading about everything, and missed you. Hang in there,you have had a rough week.

What a nice post. I have to read because you are pretty darn funny! If you weren’t, I may have to go, but I’m not goin anywhere right now!
LOVE your post. Having family recently find my blog, I completely understand and relate to your poem. You made me cry. Thank-you!
Just so you know…. I come by every day. I just totally suck at commenting.
Which I find totally ironic, as I’m a bit “comment needy” myself, and have also noticed a distinct lack of visitors and comments over at my place.
So I’m sooo sorry if you thought I had dropped off the face of the earth. I haven’t.
I love you and will follow you anywhere! I like hanging out with the cool kids.
Don’t be sad! We’re here!
