Don't be so darn good at your post writing.  I have so many friends on Active Rain whose blogs I really enjoy that I cannot seem to find the time to read all of them.

I find myself stressing out about not having enough time to read and comment on everyone's posts.  Today, I commented on at least 20 and then am thinking that I don't have time now to really write a post.  As I begin to try and calm myself by giving myself a good talk, I realized that there is a post right here.

It is better to read and learn than to write --- if I have to make a choice. 

Just today, I learned:

1) about long tail & short tail keywords from JL Boney

2) a reminder from Midori Millerabout checking your web site(s) on different browsers

3) a great video to show the grandchildren about texting while driving - thanks to Mike Mueller

4) that bankruptcy is better than foreclosure -- thanks to Katerina Gasset

5) a sample authorization letter for the bank in a short sale -- thanks to Chris Ann Cleland

6) a list of 9 great web sites for Realtors - thanks to Emily Shapiro

7)  about a former Active Rainer who has passed on, Karen George, and her husband, Michael - thanks to Brad Andersohn

8) very interesting points about how much time is spent behind the wheel of a vehicle -- thanks to Roy Kelley

9) a web address for folks who are looking for a job in Charleston, SC  -- thanks to Maria & Jim Hart

10) about the Bridgewater County Fair which brought back such fond childhood memories - thanks to Andrea Swiedler

11) a great reminder about how important signs on the property are -- thanks to Todd Clark

12) a great reminder of the SC symbols & including the most magnificent photo of a palmetto tree that I have ever seen - thanks to Melissa Breeland

13) that kindness still exist here in the US - especially in Texas - thanks to Gail Tassey

14) so many beautiful photos for speechless Sundays + statistics on other parts of the world.


If any of you are interested in reading the posts mentioned above, just click on the name and it will take you to the referenced post.

See, I knew that I had learned a lot, but just putting it down is impressive to me. 

Thank you, Active Rain.  Don't be so darn good and keep me reading all of your great blogs -- my addiction just grows.

Thanks for the links.  I have found some people on AR that I had not been award of.  It's easy to get overwhelmed on AR.  Sometimes I almost feel guilty about not spending enough time here.

"It is better to read and learn than to write --- if I have to make a choice."

The nice thing is that you DO have a choice.  There is really no right or wrong way.

I think it's all about balance which is hard for us all to maintain.  Read a little, comment a little, write a little, sleep a little, love a little, eat a little, help a little, etc.  Finding the right balance in life is unique to each individual, I think you do a great job at balancing your AR activities and your life, but ultimately, that is something only you can really decide. 

Thanks for the mention, this was a great post that I'm sure many will relate to and learn from.  Mama Liz strikes again!  :-))

This post is so right on. Sometimes its better to learn. Brad did a nice job of summing this up.

Take a look at my post today and throw me some comments on it. Its my Fannie Mae post about REO brokers.

I feel your pain Liz, from time to time I actually miss sleep to read and comment.  But I always learn SO much and feel that the people I talk to and hear from on ActiveRain are just a part of my extended family.

Liz - You mention some great posts here, most of which I have read and/or commented on. I want to find that balance GURU Brad Andersohn mentions above. Although, I don't know how it will EVER be possible... too many great posts and too little time to read them all!
