Now I try to do it even when I think the blogger "has it too much together to care what I say" because I realize what pleasure I get when someone that I do not know comments on mine.. how delightful to know that things DO resonate through the universe.jordi https://www.blogger.com/profile/01231592235682151842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517387823567211648.post-8711209866128759642008-08-20T14:37:00.000+01:002008-08-20T14:37:00.000+01:00I find it hard to balance my blogging and life som...I find it hard to balance my blogging and life sometimes.
