I read this article in today's Parade with interest. I've made several friends through blogging; I've only met one in real life. I am hoping to meet some of the others in the Spring, because I seriously need to get back to Boston.

To me, that's the thing that blogging has brought me, and it's why I keep doing it. I think the people who have met me from my writing see a different part of me than others. I'm glad that I have Michelle to commiserate with about our OCD tendencies. Janet makes me laugh and amazes me with her photography. Jenna gives me a kick in the pants when I need it. All are people I never would have met otherwise. I'm glad that the internet has made the world a smaller place.
