It's a drizzly day, the girls are asleep, and I am all cozied up with a blanket and my cup of Earl Grey.  I love blogging.  I think I can honestly say that now.  Which is very encouraging to me, because I haven't always been able to say that.  That break was one of the best things I've done with this blog, even though I missed it, truly I did.

   I think I appreciate my readers more, too.  I find myself wanting to reply to each comment, and meet each person I haven't met before, and gather everyone up who has ever stopped by and sweep you all away out to a retreat at the coast where we could put up our feet by the fire and talk about life.

   What makes you stop by?  What do you enjoy about "Frame of Mind?"  What would you like to see more of/less of?  What topics are you itching to see addressed?  Anything I should change?  Should I feature more guest bloggers?  Would YOU like to be one of those?  Hit me up with some feedback, I'd love to hear from you on any one or all of the above!

   And I KNOW those tabs on the side are probably driving most of you crazy, but I will TRY and get them up and running soon.  It's been one of those things I just cannot seem to get around to.  Hopefully soon.

   Thanks again, dear reader, for being just that.  A reader.  I cherish each one of you.  Thanks for humoring me in the pursuit of this silly little dream of mine of writing.  Of being a writer.  *yikes* I don't think I've ever even said that before.  That I'd like to be a writer.  It just sort of bubbled up and out of me.  Come to think of it, the first time I told Randy I loved him was the same way.  It wasn't a phrase that was ever very easy for me to say, and I hadn't said it to him yet.  Then one day, we were just talking on the phone, and he made me laugh like he always can, and without even thinking or any premeditation whatsoever, it just bubbled up and out of me before I even knew what I was saying.  It surprised even me, as I found my own lips forming the words, "I love you."  It was such a special moment for both of us, and I will never forget it.

Sorry for the rabbit trail.

   So anyways, feedback.  I'd love to hear from you all.  But now I think I hear a little one up from her nap, so I'm over and out.  Happy Thursday.
