Well at this point i still tend to read more daily blogs that are on this list (and you all know who you are : ) ), but at least the shorter listing in itself may be a bit of a start. Blog friend Natalie has inadvertantly given me a challenge here. When discussing "slow blogging", she said what had really helped her was just keeping it to about 4 blogs that she reads regularly, reading the rest more on a rotation instead. At first i thought no...because i love all these blogs i link to, and my blog friendships mean a great deal to me. But then i thought, well it makes sense....all of the blogs i like still would get read doing it this way, it would only just happen somewhat less frequently, it's not like it would stop altogether And since the daily reading slows down that helps me slow down. So i became determined to get it down to four (well, make that seven lol) too, as challanging as it was. Please know that even if you are not on the "dailys", if you are here on my links period it is for a very real reason--that your blog is a beloved one!
