Today I just felt the need to write this post. You know I really love blogging. When truly sit down and think about it my heart feels good. Blogging has made such a difference in my life. I mean, I don’t think I can even describe it or measure it.
I have always been very, very shy. To the point where I developed social anxiety so bad I could not leave my house without having a panic attack. I am talking about heart beating fast, nervousness, mind racing, shaking and crying. It does not help that I suffer from depression too. Some days are really great and some are really, really bad. Then I started blogging. It became an outlet to express myself. Then people started leaving comments and I started to make friends. People who were kind and thoughtful. It is all so amazing to me. I began to feel like I mattered and I had a voice. It was actually ok to be me. Ok, now I am starting to cry, lol. It just means so much. I never felt worthy of having friends or having someone care about me. My blogging friends make me feel that way. Yep I say friends. Even those I have never met face to face. To me they mean the world 
I can’t wait to share something new that happened with them or vent to them. Sometimes just visit them, even if it is through their blogs, lol. I am a big time lurker! They are a part of my life whether they know it all not.
Blogging is so great! I am learning so much about myself. It might just sound strange but it is so true. I would have never thought this year would have changed me so much. Now my anxiety and depression is still there but I am definitely learning how to deal with it and stepping out of my box. I am learning everyday it ok:
So I just want to say thanks to my friends, who I love in my own little way. I wanted to list names but I did not want to forget anyone. Thank you to everyone who has ever sent a kind word or hug or any type of support my way.

I can totally relate! I love blogging. I’ve been doing it for yearsssss simply to preserve our family’s memories… then, in May of this year, I was introduced to the “mom blogging” community and I was amazed to learn that there are SO many moms who blog and are connected with one another through blogging. It was a great surprise and I’ve developed so many wonderful friendships as a result.
I’ve always loved writing… blogging gave me a means of sharing our lives with family and friends… NOW it has actually given me the opportunity to make NEW friends and broaden my network in order to give me the chance to work with companies as well. It’s awesome. I love your blog
and I’m SO glad that you decided to start it – and that it has been so beneficial to you!! *hugs*

It was so great to meet you this past week. I feel like we share similar lives and sometimes it is comforting to know that your not the only one.
I’m proud of you as well and look forward to our new friendship!
Take care! : )
I’m so proud of you! You continue to step outside of your shell. I’m starting to revert. My head gets too rattled at events!
