But the fact that you all do comment means so much to me. I appreciate every single one of your sweet remarks. I sometimes struggle with whether or not my writing really ministers to others and if it even makes sense to others. Your kind words give me that extra encouragement that I need.

You wouldn't believe how much I take out of each post I write, or how many times I have to delete and then figure out how to reword something to use half as many words. And, like you, it works out being married to a guy who talks much, much less than I do. :)<BR/><BR/>(And, btw, I accidently stumbled on your blog tonight, and then it clicked that this was the same "Becoming Me" who comments on my blog. I've really enjoying reading through some of your archives, esp. the ppd posts... those ones hits close to home.)Ashleigh Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165168699541078649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-3819405493187041822008-04-29T19:38:00.000-04:002008-04-29T19:38:00.000-04:00I, for one, enjoy your wordiness, and appreciate t...I, for one, enjoy your wordiness, and appreciate the way you express it. *grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-5237100929117432842008-04-29T16:57:00.000-04:002008-04-29T16:57:00.000-04:00That really really was touching.
