Howdy! I’m awful at finding time to comment on your blog. Pretty much for all of you. I suck. I know that I do, so at least there is that.
A few days ago I was shoveling our driveway. The storm was an ice/sleet/snow mix. It was eight degrees outside and I needed to get the driveway cleared before it was too late. For my snowy friends out there, you know what happens when it’s too late. Having a driveway of solid ice isn’t exactly what I want. However, I stopped to read a blog post written by a writer who was wondering why more people weren’t commented on their posts.
I really wanted to comment, but I was literally outside shoveling. It was terribly cold and windy. Yet, I did read your post. And you write well and Please don’t think that you don’t. I wonder if it’s like this for a lot of us. I have so little time to comment, that I find I don’t. I won’t sit here and make a profound statement proclaiming to become a frequent comment creator, because that would be a lie. I like honesty. I’ll do the best I can. I read as many posts as I can. Even in snow storms while my nose is dripping and my hands are shaking. I like to read. Hence my little saying, Read on. It’s good for the brain.
I’m thankful I didn’t write, “Comment on. It’s good for the brain.” My brain would have shriveled and turned off.
For those of you who are gifted at commented, I cherish you. I have seen many of you. I don’t have that gift.
Cheers everyone.
Matt

Well…. I still have about four feet of snow on the ground (itβs compacting and melting at this point so itβs shrunk quite a bit!) But where I live, itβs bright, with high clouds and about 30* so itβs pretty warm. Feels great. I want to make a trip to the east coast to visit all my friends over there.

It’s something I’ve struggled with myself. My presence here is limited and I also try to keep myself slightly detached for my own personal reasons. But I truly want to read and leave something for others and so there are days I make that my primary focus.
Life is so full, or can be and I’m never going to miss living it. But I appreciate others time for me so I will attempt to do the best I personally can by them. And I’m never ever perfect.
Maybe your post here is the perfect comment for everyone, we can all take it. π

“never going to miss living it.” What a statement. What a line. What exactly do you mean?

I mean that I’m going to love life in the physical as much as I can. I do my best to keep physically active in the outdoors and make sure I have some people I spend time with. I’m an introvert to the core so the socialization can be daunting.
Sometimes people, me, can use things like this or social medias to try facilitate needs they have for human connection and it’s quite common especially for introverted people.
I don’t want to miss the real thing π

Ditto! Also if something connects with me in a deeply personal way (usually written) that connection most often will be found in a shared experience of pain or difficulty. Having that common history is between me and the writer (even if they don’t know that because I hit the Like button instead of comment) and not anyone else who might anonymously view any posted comments.
