I try to find bloggers who have similar interests, beliefs, styles or maybe it's just something about a blogger that I just connect with right off the bat....they are all kindred spirits.<br />I am continually amazed by the kindness of bloggers and now even a blog reader! I don't know what it is that makes us connect with people we have never and may never meet face to face. I feel truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of women and with the friendships I am making. And to see how YOU have been blessed, dear friend, makes me smile.❁Velma ~Down Our Country Road❁https://www.blogger.com/profile/00688975970842662227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-58734074570744530232012-01-25T06:12:32.000-08:002012-01-25T06:12:32.000-08:00LOL no, you are not off the deep end.

I too was blessed this week with a very similar story as yours. She is also Deb, and she wrote for the first time in my comment section, but said she had been following me for years. She said how much she identified with me, etc. She also sent me an email, and we exchanged several more back and forth. I was so wishing she didn't live so far away. Because I know we would be great friends in person, but how wonderful that we can be friends via blogging and letters. It is a wonderful thing, and I too feel that I have received far more than I give in blogging!!!<br />: )Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-13840022390179740562012-01-24T15:00:06.438-08:002012-01-24T15:00:06.438-08:00The friendships and connections we make is what I ...The friendships and connections we make is what I love about blogging.

When I began this journey I really had no expectations of anyone being interested in anything I had to say. I am always left speechless when someone signs up to follow me.
