My Lady of the Lantern

Oh I don't let go easily. But I wanted to add new subscription to my reader, and there was a cap of 100 blogs.  I yesterday, finally, let go of some blog subscriptions. Some of those blogs, and the women who wrote them...I clung to every word they wrote ( BabySmiling , for example). Most of the blogs came to an abrupt end. I never knew if they were going to come back. I hope that life became too crazy for them to come and talk about it, or that they lost the zest for blogging, and nothing else happened.
