On occasion I've wondered about continuing the blog, which takes hours of my time, or whether I should be doing something more practical, more guaranteed to drive readership to my books or whatever the marketing people recommend. But as a lifelong diarist, I love blogging, and every so often, readers let me know what it means to them. So again, thank you for your encouragement and support. bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122791819498272634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667348909154981284.post-77364384532303920362021-08-22T08:04:46.556-07:002021-08-22T08:04:46.556-07:00Less than a week ago a few of your blog readers (f...Less than a week ago a few of your blog readers (fans) and I were discussing how much we enjoy your blog for the beauty of the words and thoughts, the spirit of kindness that always radiates, the optimism and the gentle, reasonable, and positive approach to life. Even when you discuss more serious personal matters (e.g., your recent health challenges, your friend Patsy, your worries for the well-being of those you love), you do so with warmth, honesty and courage, and from that we all learn and grow. I follow, and am grateful for, your suggestions on books that you recommend, for the music you discuss, and for the films/documentaries/tv shows that you discuss. For all world issues I rely on mainstream news, but am interested in other's opinions when discussed. Your blog is a gentle joy and I thank you for that.Ellen Fosternoreply@blogger.com
