Saying Good-bye
For days now I have thought about closing my blog down.
And I suspect by weeks end it will be.
Probably will keep it open for family only.
There are people that only comment nasty things, most I delete but some just make me shake my head and I am no enabler, I will say something back and then someone else in a not so gracious way, calls me ungracious, its silly, pointless and I frankly don't want to subject myself to it. Selfish on my part, sure, but then it is my blog and my peace that is being disturbed.

I am so sorry to hear that you are closing your blog. I will miss you and all of your family greatly. I can certainly understand that you don't need the negativity in your life. My goodness, why do people even bother to read a blog they don't like, much less comment on it? Hats off to you for not letting yourself get caught up in something that weighs you down.
Drop me a note from time to time, won't you?
Kindredly,

If you choose to close down your blog, I will be truly disappointed. Yours is the first blog I visit every morning, and I have always been able to count on you for an uplifting word, a great idea, beautiful photos, or just some inspiration. Although I understand that you must do what's necessary to protect your own peace, I know are strong enough to rise above the negative comments and naysayers. We all get those types of comments, and the most loving thing we can do is to delete and ignore them.
Blessings,
Annabelle
Have you thought about keeping your blog up but blocking comments completely? That way you could continue to share your thoughts and pictures, but not have to deal with misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

I would miss you terribly if your sweet voice was not heard through your blog. You have a deep wisdom and insight that I love to glean from daily. Some people don't have joy (their choice) and they try to squelch it out of everyone else. You are loved and appreciated by many friends.

If you do decide to go private, would you consider allowing me to access it. I would be honored to be able to continue to read your thought-provoking posts and watch your family continue to grow and prosper.
Thank you.

I just recently found your blog and have enjoyed it very much. I agree w/Bren when she said that it's Satan and he's enjoying it that you are saying good-bye...he doesn't attack those that aren't furthering God's love and wisdom. I hope you will pray on this futher and respect whatever God leads you to do.
I am so sorry. I love your blog and you and your words of wisdom will be missed.
You have a sweet family. We use to live in Arlington and are going to be in Fort Worth in two days to visit family. I like hearing about Texas on your blog. You will mention a place and I get so excited that I know where it is.
Thank You, Kim

But I also understand all things are for a time, and you may need it to change.
Blessings to you. Dana
May I suggest you close your comments only?
I will miss seeing your lovely grandchildren, they are such a wonderful reflection of their grandparents and parents.
Your blog provides that type of daydream to a lot of people, I am sure. In this rat race world, it is nice to stop by and see how the goats and chickens are doing and what beauty lies in everything you do. I guess we are living vicariously through you.
I hope you can continue without corruption from negative comments because you are a bright star of sanity in this crazy world. I too have dreamed your dream and walked your paths. Thank you so much for sharing your life with me. I hope it can continue.
Much love from a country girl at heart,
Bev
but if people leave negative comments that it must mean that you are striking a nerve...and just maybe that nerve needs to be pinched a little bit...
I would say keep it open and pray for the people who leave negative responses
Mimi
I will keep you in my prayers...
Sincerely,
Paula
