I have spent the evening transferring my Google Reader subscriptions to The Old Reader - I know I could have imported them all at once but it was an opportunity to think about what I am reading. Sometimes it is good to let go, to acknowledge that your life has moved on over the years and what you want to read will have changed too.
I also bid farewell to bloggers I followed that have stopped posting over the years. Thank you for your posts - they were opportunities for me to meet people and see places that I would not otherwise have had.
But mostly I felt overwhelming gratitude to all of my amazing blog friends who continue to post and enrich my life with their experiences. Thank you - all of you - you're lovely.
typing one hand here, forgive the no capitals..you do have/have had many readers who love you.
ReplyDeletethank you! (i'm being all ee cummings in sympathy with you)
Deleteoops.. have had, do have..sorry
ReplyDeleteSometimes I shall peep through your keyhole and dash off, holding your words and images in my head for the day. Other times I shall pop a note under your door........ It's such a lovely door to your world.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely image - and it is wonderful to turn on and find those little notes from you.
DeleteHope you are still with me Alice. I shall still pop by here for my daily fix!
ReplyDeleteOf course I am still with you, cake-buddy!
DeleteToday it doesn't feel right, all of a sudden it's time to appear here after visiting and reading quietly for I don't know how long. Maybe because I love doors and these look so inviting, most likely because your words never fail to touch me. Catherine.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Catherine and thank you for those kind words. I took the photos in Frigiliana, a white village in Andalusia.
DeleteWe are here! We are here! channeling all in Who-ville who contiunue to read your blog and continue to post themselves. And I was serious about my ironing question, which went unanswered. Ahem.
ReplyDeleteNothing, dearest, I iron nothing at all. There is evidence of long term incompetence and idleness in my ironing basket.
DeleteOh, another Reader that I hadn't heard of! I transferred, originally to Feedly but I couldn't get comfortable with it. I am currently with Bloglovin but I am uncertain about it, too. I thought Google Reader was closing on Monday, but it went yesterday! I shall look at the Old Reader, thank you. thank you also, for the pictures, I do love doors (windows too).
ReplyDeleteI like the Old Reader because it is no frills. It doesn't update as regularly as I am used to which means that when I edit live posts the evidence is still there for a while.
