Yes it is true. I love those who blog. I thank them for bringing lots of pretty inspiration or food for thought into my world each day. I can have all my design needs, recipe needs, color fixes and just plain eye candy needs given to me by simply hitting my google reader. I am very grateful for this. I have read a few posts lately on various blogs about negative comments being left and downright vicious feedback being given to those that blog. It blows my mind. One incident in particular jumps to mind. Apartment Therapy held their annual Homies awards and it unleashed some of the nastiest comments I have read. It just made me angry. The audacity required to write some of this poison astounds me. All 8 of the blogs are wonderful worthy blogs and the amount of time and effort the writers out into them is inspiring. To attack and try to knock these efforts is beyond me.
I have tried many times to maintain a blog but I fear it is just not in me. It takes far too much time and effort on my part to keep blogging on a regular basis. Yet people do it and they do it well. So please, I ask of you, instead of finding criticism, just say a simple thank you. Thank you taking the time to make my day a little brighter. Thank you for caring enough to share your vision. Thank you for spending hours of your time uploading instructions or photos or typing in recipes just so I can enjoy them at my leisure. The alternative is to do as many a mother said and remember that if you cannot say something nice, shut the hell up.
On a more personal note, I love Eddie Ross and his blog and I left a comment on one of his posts yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I found an email in my inbox this morning from the very same Eddie Ross, thanking me for my comments. Now that made my day!
