To the Blogosphere

9/10/2012

I read a long list of blogs. I comment on many of them. Usually. This last few weeks have been so busy that while I have read about all of their incredible journeys, dressage or otherwise, I haven't had much time for commenting. So in an effort to show my support for my many blogging friends, I'd like to give a shout out to those that I particularly admire and encourage the rest of you to give them a peek.

In random order:

Thank you very much for the shout out! I read your blog daily, but haven't had much time to formulate a cohesive/coherent comment! Maybe a little higher schooling will straighten out my brain. Class begins next Tuesday!

Good luck with the year, Erica!

Thanks for mentioning us Karen! I have been following you for a while, read all your posts, but don't comment frequently.

I did want to say after reading this last series, that you should be proud of your accomplishments. You have trained hard, gotten out there, and showed. Your results may not always meet with your goals and expectations - but at least you are learning and getting feedback. Don't be so hard on yourself!! ;D

Reading is much easier without commenting. :0) I usually catch up on all of my reading while I am eating breakfast which means there's an English muffin in one hand and a fork in the other!

And I am TRYING to go easier on myself. :0)

Thanks for the mention! And now I have more to add to my list! When I started my blog I never realized how much the support of others would mean to me, and how much I would learn from reading others. A total surprise has been getting to actually meet a few fellow bloggers!

I find it amazing how friendly and supportive other bloggers are. Maybe bloggers are a "type." I don't know, but I get a lot of help from the blogger world that I can't get here at home.

I understand.
With school starting again, it is back to the old juggling act! I hope your year is off to a great start. :)

We're on week four already! Where does the time go? I finally, finally feel as though I am getting into a routine. Best of luck with your own academic year. :0)

Thank you so much for the mention! I, too, don't comment nearly as much as I'd like to, but I really enjoy your blog! Your horses are lucky to have such a caring human, and I think you have lots of interesting opinions and perspectives which stimulate great conversation and thought. I find myself not only reading your blog but going back to some posts to re-read. =)

Sarah - I feel lucky if someone reads anything I write even once. I never considered that anyone would re-read something. That is quite a compliment - thank you.

I often wonder how many people I offend as I share my "opinions and perspectives." Offend, entertain, inform, bore ... I am sure I do a little of everything. Blogging satisfies an urge. I learn best by verbalizing my ideas. Since I can't sit on the street corner spewing my stream of consciousness, this seemed like the next best thing. I truly write for my own benefit, but if someone else finds it interesting in any way, then I've contributed something useful to the world.

Thanks for sharing your own thoughts. :0)

Hey, thanks for the shout-out.

I'm having a lot of that "time to read, no time to comment" stuff myself (I'm even running short of time to WRITE blog posts lately, because of the book writing I'm doing instead...)

But, as George RR Martin reminds us, "Winter is coming", and with it, more time to read....at least, for those of us who live in a climate where there IS a winter. Your climate might not qualify! >g<

Yeah ... no down time here. Winter is the best time for riding! :0) The book looks like it's going to do well - best of luck!!!!!!!!
