I hope everyone has a great new year filled with prosperity, luck, happiness, and all of that other good stuff. I hope that each and every one of you has success with your resolutions/and goals for the new year.
For what ever reason, I am the type of person that needs constant reassurance and positive feedback or I just shut down on what ever I am doing. This holds true for blogging as it does for just about everything else. As an example, I went to my parents house in August and my dad made a comment about how I said I was getting all skinny, but then when I crawled into the hot tub with him he commented that I looked as fat as I always did. I have not been right since, weight loss has taken a back burner, and my exercise regimen has suffered as well. Anyway, I don't want to dwell on that...but it is just an example of how I need to feel good about what I am doing in order to keep up with it. I would get really discouraged with the comments on my blog, 14 posts with no comments was enough to push me over the edge of no return. This problem is further exasperated by the fact that I have a lot more time on most days that others do, and I'd be checking my blog 5 or 6 times a day and would get dejected when there were no comments.
So this is the last post on my blog. Hopefully everyone understands, and know that I wish nothing but the best for all who occasionally glanced my way. That goes for family and friends. Good luck to all and Happy 2009!
Of course the ultimate coup de grace would be to leave a comment about my post about not leaving comments. I can't say that I will never check in and see if there is anything there, but it's not going to be a regular thing. So feel free, just know that it may be sitting in cyberspace collecting dust for days, weeks, even months as I resist the urge to check for comments in OCD way I do things.
