Life evolves. Things change. Once upon a time there were many many blogs out there. That was before Facebook. Blogs were a way to find people with similar interests. Commenting on a blog was like commenting on a Facebook post is today. Or maybe Instagram, I don't do Instagram, so I am not sure.
I met some very nice people in the blogosphere. I met a Sharon in Minnesota and a couple of Jody(e)s living north and south of me. I met a Tami who moved around. I met a Dawn in Texas. I read Pioneer Woman, before she was a Food Network star. I watched the Merc being constructed on her blog and I have shopped there in person twice.
In fact, the year I was getting divorced I took a trip to meet some of the bloggy people in my life. It was one of the most daring things I have ever done. I drove to see people I had never met before. I loved them all. Loved them. But, I can't really imagine doing that again. I am not as brave as I seemed while I was going through the divorce. Or perhaps I am not as brave as I used to be.
Of all the blogs I used to read, Pioneer Woman still does one, but the others have moved on. I am Facebook friends with some of them, those past bloggers. Life evolves, things change. It was fun while it lasted.
