Penelope Trunk is a Blogger that you have got to read. She's amazing and heartbreakingly honest...

Rebecca and Maria, you are very welcome. :-)

Liz, it will startle and amaze you in how transparent a writer she is. Transparency, like humor, is an intangible item when used well can bring points across like no other mechanism or writing tool.

Patricia, I am on my way back over there as well. :-)

Sharon, I second that. Quite addictive, indeed. :-)

Candice very well said, my friend...

Christal, you are very welcome. I find her fascinating. :-)

Sally, I love lurking over there. She has a way of putting what you're going through in perspective.

There is so much about other people we do not know and tend to take for granted. My friends all have interesting lives, yet some of them have no idea just how interesting they really are. I have one friend who makes me laugh every single day without trying. She's always giving me curious looks when I tell her she's my good time friend because she thinks her life is boring, stresses about taking care of her parents and works so damn hard she barely has time to date. Her commentary regarding these events is priceless. I keep trying to get her to blog and she thinks I'm crazy (LMAO). She barely has time for Facebook. I may have to sit next to her and make her (ROTFL). :-)

When I read Penelope, I realize there is so much more going on that people never tell you. People drag themselves through their day, silently hurting, looking for a way out of a miserable life and distract themselves with all sorts of habits (like reading our blogs - LOL). She reminds me to be kind to people when I don't feel like it because sometimes when I am having a miserable day I don't think much about others while b*tching about myself. I am trying to change that... :-)
