Before this week of all things “love” gets away from us (and by the way, hope you had a happy Valentine’s Day!), I’d like to say that I love you guys—you, the readers of this little ole blog of mine :)
I’m so happy that you drop by and share life with me. Whether you just pop in and read the latest or take time to join the conversation through comments, I want you to know how much I appreciate you. There are a lot of voices out there clamoring for a piece of your time, and I don’t take lightly the fact that you choose to join me here.
So in honor of all-things love this week, here are 9 Things I Love about You :)
1. You visit me! I love that you drop by and see what I’m up to, in writing and in life.
2. You keep visiting me! Yes, you come back time and again, and I love that! :)
3. You let me visit you! You welcome me and share life with me on your blog or on Facebook. So much fun that some of you are my Facebook friends, too.
4. You encourage me with sweet comments, both here and on Facebook. My post Ring On! told you how much your encouragement means to me. It’s priceless.
5. You share insight and wisdom with the comments you leave on my posts. You never know how what you say may impact me or another reader.
6. You show support for me by subscribing to Life Notes, my free inspirational newsletter. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
7. You pray for me and my loved ones as I share needs. What a precious, life-giving gift.
8. You are kind and gracious and fun to be around. Some bloggers have to worry about mean-spirited comments, but you all have such sweet spirits.
9. And finally, somehow I get the feeling that you love me, too! And that warms my heart and makes this week of love even more special.
So there you have it. Hope you leave feeling more loved than when you arrived. Have a great rest of the week!
