Thank you for persevering as a writer and a reader. Before I came to Sunday Scribblings and Napowrimo, I had stopped writing poetry entirely, but now, even if I can't write every single week, I feel connected to a whole community of writers. Enjoy Ella's birthday. May it be only one of many good days.Beth Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682622561621269515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-59043227875091752152008-08-05T23:03:00.000-04:002008-08-05T23:03:00.000-04:00So many things lose a little luster in the long ha...So many things lose a little luster in the long haul...but we keep on keepin' on!!

A difficult scene, but what a great movie!<BR/><BR/>I know what you are saying. I find if I take a couple of days off from the blog, I start getting these panic emails of people thinking something had happened to Eva. It is a lot of pressure!<BR/><BR/>Ahh, Ella Bella.

Happy Birthday, Ella!<BR/><BR/>I have a poem that I know I should be working on,and I feel guilty that I will probably miss Sunday Scribblings next week. What else do we have in common? Oh yes! Facebook! Sometimes I think that, at 87 years old, I am the oldest Facebook addict. I even contributed one of my dragon drawings to Hatching Eggs (hatchery, fun eggs, fantasy and mythology, blur dragon). If you should like to ask for me as a friend, I am Phyllis Sterling Smith.Granny Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214748856516412924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-80643691737854815652008-08-03T17:28:00.000-04:002008-08-03T17:28:00.000-04:00First things first - happy birthday to your little...First things first - happy birthday to your little Ella! Way more important than any comment I could possible conjure up!<BR/>I totally and completely agree with the 'have to' feeling that comes with blogging... I want to provide something interesting for people to read, but sometimes I just don't feel like putting forth the effort to write something good - it takes so much time!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599048382234757313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-43712114485647510562008-08-03T14:46:00.000-04:002008-08-03T14:46:00.000-04:00refreshing to hear that blogging becomes a "have t...refreshing to hear that blogging becomes a "have to" to somebody else once in a while - i wanted to knock off this week, then grew some things in my head, and whammo! - i blogged - hope your little one has a very special day!!!dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675797306131871129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-52678582551562232232008-08-03T14:16:00.000-04:002008-08-03T14:16:00.000-04:00hi January, I know what you mean about feeling li...hi January, I know what you mean about feeling like you 'have' to blog. I also feel I have to reciprocate to my commentors or they may stop dropping by...
