Thanks for Your Comments

April 7, 2008 by Lillie 

In January, I thanked commenters for the entire year of 2007 at once. I decided I wouldn’t wait that long again – creating that list took a lot more time and effort than I anticipated. In January, I started keeping track of comments as I replied to them, so this list for the first quarter of 2008 was much easier to compile.

Thank you to the 172 commenters for 300+ comments that created wonderful conversations. I have learned so much from you and have been so inspired and encouraged by your words and presence.

I appreciate every comment – and every reader who doesn’t comment, but I want to recognize a few of the most active participants in the community here.

Lillie,

What a surprise to finally come up for air after completing one of my writing projects and learn that I’m your top comment contributor for the first quarter of 2008! That is amazing, because I’ve really felt as if I’ve been neglecting all my favorite blogs lately due to being so incredibly busy! Knowing that is really encouraging. (Glad we kept that long comment thread going recently. I’m sure that helped!) :)

I think it’s a great idea that you’ve decided to recognize your commenters quarterly! It will save you so much work at the end of the year! (You have so many commenters!)

Always happy to visit and comment here! Your blog is very special–as are you!

Blessings,
Jeanne
