Not to mention of course that I am a coffeeholic! I just love coffee.

I read art blogs with awe at the beauty people can create.
I read photography blogs with awe at the beauty of our world.
I read mental illness blogs with empathy.
I read baby blogs with lots of pictures, what could be better?
I read your blog and find a bit of peace in my soul

Thank you!

Just stopping by for a cup of coffee. I wish!
So it’s snowing there already - we had some flakes this morning. The thing I mind is the heat bill.

I like that painting you did here - looks like ti was fun to work on.

Sharon, I too like an atmosphere of positive growth and change throughout our lives. Your description of the one woman “with grace on her lips” is quite beautiful and poetic, as is all of your writing. I’d like to read these two blogs, if they’re public.

Thank you both for commenting.

Thank you too, Lisa. I’m glad too that I found your blog and hope others will visit, who appreciate drawings with watercolor wash. You give just enough story to intrique…

How does your writing come across so calm and soothing…when you love coffee too??? Quite the conundrum -

Your list covered many of my blog reading reasons, so I thought I would flesh out what I like in the “community” or “participation” areas you mentioned. I have two bloggers I read often - One is a woman really beginning to know herself, becoming bolder and surer, and more confident — but with grace on her lips as she is a tender-hearted and caring person. The second struggles with her addictions, yet has faith in God and support from face-to-face meeting friends and blog friends. I like these snapshots that reflect the real world of growing and changing and the seasons of our lives… Thank you for presenting this, and giving me an opportunity to share. Blessings on your week,

Sharon, I like the idea of seeing each piece once — more than that and it’s not needed. That will help me process it in the first place. I hope. I’ve read for years to handle each piece of information once. Cuts the filing time in half, so they say.

Bean, I listed a few things at 43 Things, and am doing okay. Not well, but at least I’m tending to each, if not at the speed I’d like.

Anita, I sometimes wonder if my need to organize comes from my need for no clutter (which is true) or someone else’s idea that I should have pretty files. My problem is, if I put it away, out of sight, it’s gone. I know it’s somewhere… but how did I file it? Wes is the same way… yesterday he hunted for an important file for an hour and finally asked me if I had it? (He was hoping — he used to say what did you do with it? Ha!)

Elaina you hit the nail on its head! There’s always a good reason not to! Love it! If I have some time, I will always pick something else to fill it.

Read and file, I’ve been told. I read and stack…

Oh Valerie — it’s like laundry and dishes, huh? Thanks again for helping me get my coffee cup logo saved properly to appease several browsers. It works now in Firefox, IE, and Safari. Yippee!

Hi Adele — I too like the efficiency of clicking through to other blogs from my own comment section. Gives me a place to start my weekly blog-reading and commenting.

Time for coffee…..

I just posted a response to your comment on my blog and clicked your comment that then brought me here. I love the efficiency of that.
