Missing A Blogging Friend

November 9, 2013November 7, 2013 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

I have many blogging friends.  Like most relationships, blogging relationships wax and wane.  You find out that you have things in common with certain people and you bond over that.  Maybe people aren't exactly who or what you thought they were.  And that's okay.  Blogging allows for a different kind of relationship: a long distance… Continue reading Missing A Blogging Friend

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please
