A Note to say Thank You

by Laurel Storey on January 23, 2014

Dear friends,

I want you to know that I am grateful to and for you.

Whether you read my words and quietly lurk
Or share my posts with others
Or take the time to write a comment

Thank you for being here.

Whether you just happened to drop by today
Or you’re a brand new friend
Or you’ve been around for awhile

Thank you for being here.

Whether you only visit occasionally
Or subscribe to my blog and read every new post
Or catch up with me on Facebook or Twitter

Thank you for being here.

Whether I know you online
Or in “real life”
Or perhaps not at all, yet

Thank you for being here.

You are the reason I am motivated to continue writing and to share my thoughts here, instead of simply keeping a private journal.

Thank you for being here.

You are welcome. Thank you for making us realize we don’t thank our blog readers enough. Or at all. I certainly don’t. I will fix that!

I’m always here, tho I don’t often comment. I really enjoy your posts. I think you have a gift for articulating what many people feel but don’t always express. I am grateful that you share this gift. You remind me to stop and think about how I feel about things.
