It feels validating and supporting to receive them." These lines resonate with me. Even though I know my fellow slicers are kind and would never say, "Your writing stinks," I feel lifted by their comments. And I inwardly thank them!

A person who takes the time to comment on my blog posts (even though sometimes they're not all that great,) it makes me feel so happy that I COMMUNICATED with somebody.

I feel like it's a great way to connect with others. I know how much it means to me and how I look forward to seeing if anyone has commented on my writing. I know my writing isn't moving or really that good, but I'm putting it out there. It feels good to get a little acknowledgement just for the fact of doing it. I'm enjoying leaving a note for those that I read.janiefaheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463136224026607939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300179811539929944.post-80922030327431080192016-03-20T08:47:40.322-05:002016-03-20T08:47:40.322-05:00Your thoughts about commenting are so spot on.

I would imagine the winner of this amazing commenting challenge prize will post over 200 comments this weekend, and I know that will never be me, so I'm not even trying, but like you, I am trying to comment more.
