Better Late Than Never: You Are Part of My Life
March 15, 2008 by Lillie
With apologies for severe tardiness, I’m finally responding to a meme tag from Mihaela Lice at eWritings.
The instructions for “Who Is Part of My Life?” – originated by Lauren of Can You Be a Part of My Life – state:
Post a quote that speaks from and to your heart and dedicate it to at least three other bloggers.
Mihaela (better known as Mig) wrote a beautiful post saying “on the web we are just people.” She selected the following quote for the people she tagged:
Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t. – Richard Bach
I am honored to be part of Mig’s life and to have her as part of mine.
I dedicate the following quote to the bloggers who are part of my life.
Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today. ~James Dean
Laura Spencer at Writing Thoughts and Yvonne Russell at Grow Your Writing Business have already been tagged by Mig, but I want to recognize them along with other special bloggers in my life.
Jeanne Dininni at Writer’s Notes
Joanna Young at Confident Writing
Matt Keegan at The Article Writer and Word Journey
Michele Tune at Writing the Cyber Highway
Misti Sandefur at Life of a Writer
Phil Davis at Authors on the Net
Renae Brumbaugh at Morning Coffee
Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone Musings
I realize that some of you don’t participate in memes. I don’t expect you to respond; I just wanted to thank you for being part of my blogging life!
Thank you, also, to many other bloggers who enrich my life with your blog posts, your comments, and your presence.

Very nice Lillie!
Classic James Dean – life is shorter than we realize…
Thanks for being a part of my life.
Thanks so much, Lillie!
It truly is an honor to have made your list! I certainly count you among my very best blogging friends! And I just adore that quote! It’s such great advice, and I hope I’ll always both remember and practice it!
Thanks again!
Jeanne
Oh Lillie, that’s one of my favourite quotes! Says a lot in not many words (just the way I like it!)
Thanks for being a part of my blogging life too, we’ve enjoyed some wonderful conversations, and I’ve learned so much from you.
Joanna
That’s very kind of you Lillie to somehow include us (who comments). I have always looked forward to your posts. It’s always a great read for me. More power.
Thank you, Lillie! You have become a very special part of my life, as well! I just love this blogging community – I have dear friends I have never met face to face.
Great quote!
Blessings, my friend,
Renae

I am proud to have you in my life, Lillie, and thank you very much for carrying on the message on the blogosphere. I think it is always nice to say a “thank you” from the heart. Although miles away, this is how we know that our efforts really matter, that these virtual relationships are real.
I always learn from your posts, though haven’t had the chance to add a comment, you understand! hope you will add me to a part of you as i always wish to.
Thanks
Hi Lillie
You are an inspiration to me, so I was especially honored to be included in your list. Thank you.
I like the quote you chose for this. This has been one of my favorite memes. Following it around the many blogs I visit has been fun, and I’ve learned some new quotes to quote. (I have a quotation addiction!!)
awesome james dean quote
Better late than never, indeed! Thanks for the nod, Lillie, and for being a part of the Zone, too!
Lillie, thank you so much for your kindness. You are a ray of sunshine on the blogosphere. Greetings of the resurrection season to you and yours!
I feel as if I am near my friend talking to her with a cup of coffee.
It’s so pleasant to read your blog.

Thank you for the lovely words, Jasmine.
I responded to all comments at the time they were made, but nested comments, including my replies were lost when I moved my blog.
You’re welcome, Jeanne.
That quote really hit home with me after I had my stroke. I’d been putting off writing for “someday” … and realized that “someday” might never come.
Laura,
Life is shorter than we realize … and unpredicatable.
Joanna,
As you say, our words count, and the words of the quote do say a lot.
Meg,
I appreciate the comments and am glad you enjoy my posts.
Renae,
I really appreciate sharing “morning coffee” and devotions with you!
Thank you for including me, Mig. You’re so right that “thank you” is important – in both the virtual and physical worlds.
Biodun,
I appreciate you reading my blog whether or not you comment. I read a lot of blogs and feel part of many even though I don’t always comment. But I love to hear from you when you do comment.
Thank you, Yvonne.
Amy,
A lot of us seem to really like this quote. And it is fun to read others’ favorite quotes. I understand the quotation addiction.
I’m glad to know a lot of other people like this quote as much as I do.
Thanks for always making me think, Robert!
Thank you, Matt. May you and your family has a blessed Easter as well.
