I keep trying to remind myself I set out to blog for me, only me, but when you know or anticipate others will look you up, it gets hard to be candid. I won't give you any compliments about yourself, as I would be wasting my words because you don't believe a positive word anyone says, but you are a good, solid writer. Your words are lyrical, a hard thing to accomplish for most. Keep writing.
