Fishing for Comments


I have a vision: One day my adult daughter will want to know some things about life and how she should go about this "being an adult" business. In this vision, I hand her or refer her to my blog. She reads and realizes, "wow, mom actually gets stuff." This is primarily the reason why I write my blog; for my posterity and also as a personal record for myself. I don't do it to draw attention to myself (although, I will readily admit that I do like attention. I am working on that). But it's a form of therapy as it is an outlet for me to reflect on life.

With that being said, most of you know that one of my biggest love languages is verbal validation. Now, I just am feeling like I need some verbal love from ya'll. Many of you tell me that you read my blog, etc...but could you comment? I know there are some closet "News of Suz" readers, so let me know you're there. And if you are one of my regular commenters...well, comment again. I want to hear from you.

Am I pathetic to be "fishing for comments?" Maybe I am.

So without further ado, please comment. Let me know you're around and let me know what you're up to.

And if you think you're pathetic for saying a simple "hey Susie, it's me Joe" don't sweat it. Remember I am the one that pathetically asked you to do it!

Ready, get set, comment!

I am my sister's blog reader. But, I am not a closet reader and you know that. Keep on writing! It's not only helping your one-day teenage kids, but it's great stuff for my teenage kids. Love you! Hey, I'll comment on yours if you comment on mine? :)

Keep up the writing!

Yo Susie. I read your blog and have it on my Google news feed. You've been up to some pretty cool thing lately. The pictures of your trip are incredible--especially the temple pictures.
You're hilarious, kind, compassionate, quirky, intelligent, and passionate. You asked for comments but here you get a voluntary list of why you're awesome. Much love to you my friend!

I'm an avid reader! I'm just horrible at commenting. I'll try to be better!

Sassy & Single Susie! You know how much I love your blog. I even tell other people to read it because it's the most earnest and honest thing on the internet. I am always impressed by how fearlessly you share the gospel. I wish more of my friends let me into their lives this way.
