		<description>That is very true.  I am trying to reach out more over the internet but in my physical life as well.  I&#039;ve also stopped worrying about what they do - or do not - do for me in return.  It just gives me more peace.  I figure that I have been myself for almost 40 years and it has worked well so far.  :D</description>

		<description>Hi Kathryn -

How kind of you! I can say the same for you. :) I love your site and often link to it. 

I&#039;ve met so many wonderful people. My only regret is I can&#039;t spend as much time as I&#039;d like with each of them. I do try to keep in touch.

I guess the old adage applies: If you want a friend, be a friend.

Blessings,
Susan :)</description>

		<description>Hey Susan - you are one of those that I consider a relationship.  You have been a HUGE blessing to me since you first discovered me way back when.  I enjoy your comments and your website.

Building relationships can be just as difficult (and sometimes more so) online then they are in person!</description>

		<description>Hi Kathryn -

As in real life, some people you meet will become acquaintances, casual friendships, and a few will become lifelong friends. Three of my contacts not only email me, but also telephone, critique my work, and encourage me. 

I think you hit on an important item. If I&#039;m always the one commenting and there&#039;s no real interaction, the relationship is shallow at best. There must be a give and take.

Thanks for an excellent post. 

Blessings,
Susan :)</description>
