Thank you, LA. You are the reader who consistently challenges me to think the most--and I am very grateful to you for that. I too read a couple of blogs like a page a day from someone&#039;s life--but without realizing that that is what I was doing. One of them is Sarah Bessey&#039;s sarahbessey.com.

					<description><![CDATA[Happy Blogversary Day!  In moving from a reading-a-whole-book life into blogging, yours has been the only one I&#039;ve consistently read.  Reading blogs has fit my currently over busy lifestyle of late and while most would frown on halting of more &quot;deep&quot; reading, I challenge that by saying that blogging fills a need for us in our fast-paced lives.  I think of it as &quot;reading by chapters&quot;...each day I have a new chapter to read from Anita&#039;s blog-book.  Thank you!]]></description>

Thanks Joy. I haven&#039;t been good at investing in blog friendships for the last year or two--and so am missing on one of the great pleasures of blogging. Oh well, not too late to reverse course.
Blesisng to you!]]></description>

Thanks, Tanya:-) You&#039;re powering away in blogland! I am struggling to keep up with mine, now that my book manuscript is due on Dec. 31!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Happy 3rd Blogoversary, Anita! I love your blog and have been so encouraged, informed, enlightened and entertained by reading it - sometimes in the same post! You are a great example for newbies like me and I admire your ability to write daily. Even in the relatively short time that I have participated in reading blogs and writing my own, I have had many of my preconceptions shaken, much encouragement to believe I have a voice and a word to share, and an ever-increasing circle of friendship and support. It&#039;s a world I feel privileged to be a tiny part of. May you continue to enjoy it too. Blessings :)xx]]></description>

Hi Bill, I failed in my first 3 attempts at blogging. Was only able to persist once I clearly heard that it was God&#039;s will for me. 
Perhaps start small and sloppy, with  posts of a few sentences when you want to flop--and you may well find it relaxing and therapeutic!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations and happy birthday, I am more than impressed that you have maintained daily blogging for 3 years - I&#039;d love to do it for 3 days!  I must confess that I only dip in when I have the time, but I&#039;d like to come here more often, so to aid that I have added your blog to my feed reader on my tablet.  I have so many posts buzzing about my head, but I rarely have the time to get them out, and when I do have an evening to myself I just flop as I&#039;m always on the go.  I&#039;m sure it&#039;ll come with perserverance. God bless and long my you continue growing.]]></description>
