Saying Goodbye!

To those of you who spend your time reading my blog, I want to thank you for your comments, and for the things I have learned from you as well.

I am going to sign off for good either tomorrow or the next day because I have had an opportunity arise that takes precedence over blogging.

I never thought about having online buddies, but I have made a few and it has been pretty cool! Mahndisa, Suzie, Gayle, Echotig, Big White Hat, Chatterbox -of course, A.Jacksonian, Bloviating Zeppelin, Ace in the Hole: Texas Fred, Dell Gines, James, Kirkrrt, Adrianne, and supplymadam, I do apologize if I forgot anyone!

I am heading out the door right now so I have to run! You all take care, and if I have time, I may do a blog honoring the people I have met in the blogosphere! I may continue to comment on your blogs when I have the time though!

P.S. I almost forgot about my troll friend, Josh Rosenau at "Thoughts from Kansas".. Dude, what are you going to do now that I am not here? You will have to go elsewhere for material. All is forgiven on my end. You have a great day! (I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically).

Rebecca:

First, congratulations! It's good when a person knows what they want to do, finds an opportunity, and then has the commitment and wherewithal to do it. Your devotion to autism is remarkable and the support group will find themselves only better for working with you and providing them with the drive I'm sure you possess -- much to our detriment.

That said, I want to thank you personally for the times, writings, insight and humor you have provided not only me but all of us who have had the pleasure of "knowing" you in the Blogosphere.

You must do what you must do, and we all understand -- that does not makes us any less sad or melancholy.

I would only ask this, if I could be so impertinent: leave up your blog, and throw a post at us whenever you might have a spare minute. It doesn't matter how long or how frequently you write -- it's just that we've all gotten used to you and, greedy us, or at least me, we don't want to see you go away. I don't think it's more complicated than that.

Now, go do what you must and enjoy your new tasks. I know you'll do well and all those around you can only benefit from your presence.

If you have not already done so, please visit Rebecca and leave your thoughts. Perhaps now I better understand why she left this comment on my blog, Saturday, March 25th:

Blo: This is the best post i have read since I started blogging . . . By the way, you and Jacksonian are the two so far, who have caused me to think about where I stand in some areas politically, and how I can be guilty of being blind to what is really going on in our country with the two party system. If you got into blogging to change minds and hearts possibly, it is working. Keep up the good work, both you and AJ.

Thank you, Rebecca, for all your input, your comments, your insight, your drive and commitment. Thank you for being one of The Usual Suspects -- a membership you'll always possess.

Finally: Rebecca, we will all, truly, miss you. God bless.
