I guess the alliteration got to me.

I was beginning to wonder whether I'd lost all touch with curmudgeonry. :-)<br /><br />Then again, I'm not sure I really disagree with either of you. Blogging definitely has a place in my life, and it's a happy, helpful place. I too have learned from each of you, and look forward to learning more. I have no plans to quit blogging. <br /><br />I'm observing in this post that there's a place where the sea meets the shore, and the water shall go no further. Post Covey Stress Disorder aside, I'm taking a minute to identify the boundaries of blogdom and the relative investment it deserves in my life. It's much easier for me to invest myself in expressing my thoughts to a blog than to have a messy, annoying face to face experience, but only in 3 dimensions and with 5 senses can I really connect. IRL is where we can truly rely on each other. <br /><br />Unlike you, Missy, I tend to feel most secure when I'm wholly independent, and I have to encourage myself to foster interdependence. I guess that's why we need each other. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for thinking with me.Kevin Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788817477327510023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-4049463494467649642009-09-11T11:45:37.536-04:002009-09-11T11:45:37.536-04:00I blog and read blogs because I enjoy blogging and...I blog and read blogs because I enjoy blogging and bloggers. My views on all things religious, political and cultural have been deeply enhanced by folks like you, Missy and so many others. I thank God for the opportunity to be a small part of your blogs and your lives.<br /><br />Who really cares about being effective bloggers.. words like "effective" make me think about work and those lame Covey classes I took in the 80s.. those exercises encouraged me to be a civilized version of the wild person that I am.. who needs that :)kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-29484940517090076252009-09-10T21:55:24.450-04:002009-09-10T21:55:24.450-04:00Kevin,

Some of us are just as skilled at "skimming" over one another in person, i.e. glaze over when you talk about tennis...<br /><br />On some level the lack of interdependence can be a helpful catalyst to become honest with myself about some things - makes me "black and white" so to speak. This is how I measure my blog-success, I suppose. I also think blogging has been a suprisingly useful tool in LEARNING the difference between interdependence and independence. The former something I am excited about and seek out, the latter I am trapped by. Maybe I haven't helped others in blogdom to become "meaningfully wiser and more capable" than without me, but other have done so for me - you included. So does that make me effective or them? :)<br /><br />Anyway, it's good to see you post, bro. Hope you are well.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638784910676212171noreply@blogger.com
