why do we bother riting blogs

Tue, 09/25/2007 - 16:43
we poour our hearts out hoping that someone will read and answer our blogs. we all have e or a spouse or child with e so we know what kind of heck we are all going thru. yes we are going thru it at different degrees. some days are better, some days are worse. i try to answer as many blogs as i can, but i am only one person. so who is the other one out ther working on trying to make people not feel ignored. is there one? i dont think so. we all have these long buddy lists, to. what are they for? what is any thing here for? i just dont under stand any thing any more. sadly, banffgirl

Dear Banffgirl, For me, I write in the blog as a personal online diary. I really never expect anyone to read it. If they do, that's cool. If they don't, that's cool too. My doc told me she thought it would be a therapuetic thing for me to do-- write. Since I love to write anyways, sometimes I do it online, sometimes I do it on my computer, sometimes I do it on paper. Its hard enough for me to keep up with the threads in the forum, let alone the blog entries. Its not that I don't care-- because I do. Its just that right now life is giving me a little more than I can handle. So my computer time is generally concentrated on my emails and then the threads. I *always* love reading when you write on the boards. I find you very insightful and helpful. Somehow I always seem to connect with what you are saying and you make me feel better. I'm sorry if I haven't been able to reciprocate that support. You are an awesome member here at E.com! I'm truly sorry you are going through a rough time. I will say a prayer for you tonight. God Bless, Believe

I am new here. I had no idea about viewing blogs or about buddylists. I am actually in search of as much info. as I can. So I read tons of comments and posts on here. How do I view blogs? I never acquire "friends" in any groups I participate online. It seems silly to me. I love talking with all sorts of people online but I don't feel the need to have buddy / friend lists. I write a blog on here. I do it for myself. Medical diary. If I want feedback I post in the discussion forum here. "It takes both rain and sunshine to make a Rainbow." Love life and appreciate the prciousness of it. ~Christy.
