You can’t ask for what you want unless you know what it is. . . first, you have to figure out what you want. Second, you have to decide that you deserve it. Third, you have to believe you can get it. And, fourth, you have to have the guts to ask for it. — Barbara DeAngelis
Here’s something I hardly ever do: ask for something.
It has been brought to my attention on several occasions that, while many of you think my blog posts are mostly pretty terrific, nobody seems to be commenting on them. And comments are part of the formula for the success of a blog.
Now, you and I know that many of you write immediately to me after reading a post, telling me how much you like something or how you had a similar experience or how I left something out that you think I missed, and so on. But since you do it off the comments box — usually sending me a personal e-mail or going onto my Facebook page — your comments don’t “count.”
Well, of course they count to me. But not to the blog gods, whoever they might be.
So a favor? If you like something or have something to say about the content of a post, can you try to remember to comment using the “Comments” function? It’s easy and it would mean a lot to me.
That’s all the whining for today. Thanks.
Here’s a funny photo from Old Town Fredericksburg (VA) for your troubles.
Buon viaggio!
