And love alone must make amends
I pray while this short life shall last
‘God make me worthy of my friends’.”

I have more friends through my blog and I do in my real life, I think it's just the nature of my life. Having been a caregiver for my Mom for three years doesn't lend itself to much of a social life. Just this past month I met personally two blogger friends in Athens. It was amazing how easy it was, how well we got along and sad it was to say goodbye. Hopefully I will see them again. Lovely post and I hope whatever it is that is giving you some grief will sort itself out...ciao This is my first visit to your blog and reading what you have written sounds a little like your thinking of quitting… I have more friends through my blog and I do in my real life, I think it’s just the nature of my life.

When I moved to Denver I knew 1 person...a former client. All the rest of my friends..and they are friends in every sense of the word!..are bloggers or else friends met thru bloggers. It has made all the difference in my life. I have only been reading your blog for a week...linked to you several days ago...and sorry to hear that things are not in peachy mode. Or even chocolate cake :-) I know what you mean, tho. Certain things are happening in my personal life ie the normal ups and downs of a life and I can't blog about them. Is my heart breaking over this stuff?? You bet! But for the good of all involved I have to keep silent. As a Healthcare Professional, I know you have an added layer of confidentiality you adhere to. Thanks for sharing what you can and being so refreshingly informative (and beyond funny!) along the way. Hope things improve very very soon! Kath :-) Amen.

A real community of helpful caring people exist out here on the internet and the fact that they are so diverse helps to break down so many barriers for us all. Life is a series of ups and downs. No one is exempt but I hope you are soon on the upswing again. Rob, thanks for expressing so well what so many of us have found in this blogging experience.

I think we pretty much said it all but here's some more support for you anyway--and thank you again for supporting me as well. Hey, you're the first person I've come out to visit from staying in my little hidey-hole for some time now so that's pretty good, eh? Sometimes it takes "Mutual Life Is A Disaster Radar" to bring people together? Why yes...I think it does.
