		<description>Hmm, I think I started blogging because I read a few and said, h#ll, if they can do it, so can I. And from the gobs of money I&#039;ve been raking in from my blog (gobs = 0), we know that I have succeeded.</description>

		<description>I really enjoyed reading this post!  Before starting my blog, my husband couldn&#039;t comprehend anyone spending as much time on recipes, cooking, reading food magazines and watching Food Network - now he knows there are THOUSANDS just like me!

Everyone blogs for different reasons - I mainly started mine because my sister would ask me &quot;what did you make for dinner?&quot;  and I&#039;d go into great detail, only to see my dinner on her blog the next day (that she never made!).</description>

		<description>Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary and thanks for sharing the journey.  I&#039;m on the other side of the river-- kids all grown and the active mommy role over and I&#039;m here to tell you that all those pieces of yourself do come together again and you find yourself in a new and wonderful deeper way once you have time to breathe again.  Kudos on a great job</description>

		<description>we all begin blogs for different reasons.  some of us just want to try our hand at expressing ourselves with words.  others find in it an amusing hobby.  for me, and maybe for you because we seem to share this particular struggle, it was a safe place to say some things that were hard to say.  blogs are impersonal enough that they can give us courage to open up.  just that little bit of sharing then gives us more courage to open up even more.  and the glory of it all is that other bloggers begin to respond, admit that they too have walked a similar road.  then we don&#039;t feel so isolated and alone.  the result, we open up even more.  it is a wonderful cycle when you think of it.  

i&#039;m glad that you started blogging.  i&#039;m glad i entered &quot;mom blogs&quot; into the search engine and found yours.  keep writing.  keep growing.  keep sharing.  i really do believe it makes a difference.</description>
