A Time for Change

I want to thank all of the people who sent email, posted comments, and tweeted about the blog.  I was really very surprised by the response.  I have received such nice emails from many, many people, including some of the blogs harshest critics. On the other hand, I also received communications from regular readers that surprised me.

The following is an email that I received from someone whose name I will withhold because it was sent via email, but it meant a lot to me so I will share a portion without revealing the author:

Hi Catherine – I just left a comment on your blog and wanted to send you an email to tell you how much I’ve learned from your blog.  Most political blogs lose me in their rambling writing style and I am never comfortable commenting as I don’t feel like I “fit in”.  Wasn’t the case with you.  I wanted you to know that.

Anyway what I’m getting at here is that I felt some parallels by what you were saying in your last post, I know how you feel.

You did good with “Change”.  A lot of good.  Maybe one day you’ll pick it up again.  I just wanted to know you made a difference to me.

So what I learned from this whole blogging experience and then not blogging is that it doesn’t really matter if you are the best blogger that you can be or if your blog falls far short of your own high expectations, because, as I always say, when it comes down to it, the people in your life matter and maybe they are all that matter.

So, because you all matter a lot to me, I’ll be back.  I am not sure when though, but it will probably be some time later this summer.  Blog on I will.  :-)  Did Yoda say that? If not he should have.

Thank you all for everything. I’ll be back soon. In the interim, if you want to catch up, I’m on Twitter: @atimeforchange.

Kind regards,

Cathy
