Also getting praise, it's so nice to get a lovely comment from someone about something you have written.

Less stressed, in turn, happier. I've always got so much on my mind about my son's autism. With out the blogosphere, I'd literally have no one to talk to who knows what I'm living and loving like. None of my friends or family have had first hand experiences with it before.Sublime Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430830623639991912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-25975399779904661372010-12-26T22:17:04.896+00:002010-12-26T22:17:04.896+00:00Funny, now that you mention it I do feel happier f...Funny, now that you mention it I do feel happier for blogging. For me I think it is because it gives me adult 'conversation' and 'friends' that I just can't do IRL at the moment. I didn't realise you were new to blogging, you write like you have been around a long time (thats a good thing!!). I was also v interested to read about 80% of blogs being abandoned after a month, it takes a lot longer than that to get a blog moving, you did it super fast:D <br /><br />Thanks for joining in Blog Gems. #ESP<br /><br />Jen@jencull (jen)http://www.thekingandeye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-76841373811461406162010-12-05T16:10:06.191+00:002010-12-05T16:10:06.191+00:00Hello penny - I have entered the blogsphere and ai...Hello penny - I have entered the blogsphere and aiming to boldly go.

I ha...This is a wonderful post and I totally agree. I have come across this post via a blog carnival BMB. I started writing a blog when my first daughter was born, 7 years ago! At first it was just to share her milestones with all my extended family, living on the other side of the world. More recently I've got more into the blogging community and made some great connections and friendships. I mostly write positively and find it self perpetuating - when I celebrate the good in my day and record it, I tend to look at everything more positively. I love looking back on my blog and all the wonderful things my family and I have done - it makes mr excited about the memories we have yet to make and to live on the moment and embrace the magic.Sarahhttp://www.chezlee.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-24171946854925135572010-10-26T22:51:00.846+01:002010-10-26T22:51:00.846+01:00I'm loving the whole blogging and running a we...I'm loving the whole blogging and running a website thing, which I took over in September of this year.

You can throw yourself into it, read incredible blogs and interact with others, or you can just dip your toe into it to see what you think. I recommend it to anyone who loves to read and wants to try out something new. <br /><br />Plus writing so regularly is a real tonic!This Mid 30s Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912056822016083189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-79016244209031852002010-10-25T21:05:03.187+01:002010-10-25T21:05:03.187+01:00Hello Tina
