Dear Blog,

I love you. I really do.

Over the past eight (can it really be EIGHT?) months you have become a constant companion to me. You have provided me with many hours of enjoyment. You have been on my mind more than I care to admit.

Plus, you have stretched me to do things, say things, write things, that I would have never dreamed I would do, or say, or write. I'm thankful to you for that.

You have brought new people into my life. People I now look up to. People I have learned from. People who read my words and like them.

Dear Blog, you are a wonderful addition to my life, and I just wanted to take a minute to thank you.

But, dear friend, I have neglected you lately. I have not brought you out and played with you as much as I should have, and for that I am very sorry.

So, I want you to know that in the midst of my busy life, I haven't forgotten about you. And I'll try to do better.

Next week.
