Love our Lurkers Day -- To My Imaginary Friends

To me, you are invisible, except that I see the evidence of someone having been here when there is a change in the number of blog hits.  Is it you?  Are you here?  I know you don't comment, but I just imagine that you read, nod, smile, laugh, perhaps raise an eyebrow here and there, and maybe you even get spanked yourself!

To me, you are the blank page that I look at as I begin to fill it with words that I want to share with you and I hope they have some kind of meaning to you.

No, I have never heard from you, but you hear my voice every time you read my writing.  You know my sense of humor, what a few of my passions are, and even things that irritate me because I have chosen to share parts of myself here with you.  You even know that sometimes I drop my drawers (for Storm.)  That's pretty personal, Bub!

Are you ever tempted to comment here or to say hello via a little email?   Or have you actually not shown up yet but will do so in a year or two and read this and maybe I will still be here, but maybe I won't.  Who knows that far in advance?  But, it sure would be a shame if we missed one another.

Sometimes I hope for that email.  Sometimes I am scared of it, too.  I've had a couple of things happen via email that spooked me and/or crossed my boundaries.  It happens, but everybody moves on.

So for reading here and supporting me from near or far, I thank you.  If you're a gal (I don't email with dudes), how about you let me get to know you as well as you know me?   I dare ya.   What if I email you and we don't hit it off, Windy -- what if we don't feel that friendship spark?   My response is, "Oh, Dear Reader, but what if we DO?   What if I'm scared, Windy?  It's okay, I remember being very scared too, but I've learned that we take it slow and build trust from there always keeping in mind each others' comfort zones, availability, and willingness to share.

In any case, please say hello here if you feel like it.  Thank you for reading!  Happy LOL Day!

P.S. And for those of you who I have emailed with either a little or a lot, please feel free to comment here and/or drop me a line.  Just don't drop your pants.  Unless you want to!  Then make sure you tell me about it!

    1. So you're not reporting that you're dropping your pants, huh, Roz? Laughing. I am enjoying readers, commenters, and bloggers, (and friends like you) stopping by.

      I think we bloggers should have a "Roz Appreciation Day" for all the reading and support you have steadily given to all of us. I always enjoy when you are here and interacting with you as well as reading your comments throughout the land! Hugs, Windy

  3. I often comment, sometimes I lurk. I fully remember the fear of comment, of having contact with 'those who blog about spanking' But taking that step was the third best thing that I've ever done in my life following behind marrying Nick and having my kids. It changed my life. It gave me amazingly close friends and a writing career which had before only been a pipe-dream. I've invested more than 13 year here and it was totally worth it.

    1. Hello there, sometimes Lurker Pissed Kitty! I can't imagine you pissed at anybody, ever, and how do you tell someone off with a southern accent, anyway? :) I'm glad you've been such a steady force in blog land for a very long time and if anyone here deserves strong and faithful friendships, it is you, my friend. Many hugs and Happy LOL Day! Windy
