There is so much to smile at but when it comes to making a post of these smile occasions the mind goes somewhat blank. Then I read some comments I have received and realised that it is the interaction and communicating with those who comment on my posts that give me so many smiles everyday. There are the understanding comments – I smile as I am no longer alone, there are the ones that appreciate the creativity and effort I have put into the post – I smile that the piece has been appreciated, there are the humorous one – I smile and sometimes laugh out loud. What a way to start my day, perhaps cheer the middle of the day and go to sleep by at night. Thank you to every single commenter on my post – you all make me smile. I’d love to give oodles of examples but will give just one which I hope will make everyone smile.
- A comment on my blog by Diane from Still the Lucky Few who in response to a 99 word flash fiction writing about libraries wrote: “My sisters and I loved reading. We read constantly, all through the school year, when the library in our country schoolhouse was available to us.But when summer vacation came, we were locked out and could only wistfully look at the books through a window. One day, my older sister had enough of the literature drought, and just opened the window. There we were, three little girls looking temptation (and crime) in the eye! What did we do? We read all summer, that’s what we did!”

Comments are always great. Lately I’ve been slacking off on them because of time constraints, but they are important. And of course there are people who will be “criminals” just to read. Makes a lot of sense to me! Towns should have public libraries so kids have something to read when school is closed, but if they don’t…

I understand your predicament Trent. I’m in the same boat at the moment and simply don’t have the time to keep up with it all but you can only do your best. Comments like this make you want to keep going… and all kids should have access to a library.

What a great comment. If I had been one of those little girls, I would have done the same thing. No one should be denied a chance to read!😊
