I loved what Matt over at The Book Blogger had to say on his first anniversary post about how we look at blogging. I couldn’t have said it better myself! Thought I’d post it here for those folks who get discouraged because people aren’t pushing their follow button. Matt says it all! ❤

I had no intention to become a part of one of the internet’s most kind and caring communities, no thought of making good friends. But that is what I have done.

(I’m getting ready to use one of your posts as a springboard for one of my own. 😀 )
