A Day Late and a Dollar Short (As Usual)

Yesterday was Blogging Amnesty Day, a day to recognize other bloggers and blogs. There was even a nifty graphic to cut and paste, but the motto said "Look Up, Link Down." It's the linking down concept that bothers me a bit. How about linking across?

I have this major inferiority complex, so I always assume that every other blogger has been blogging for eons longer than I have. I also tend to dislike class structuring, eg. "a-list" and "b-list" blogs. (Not to mention c- and d-list!)

When I first started blogging back in the dark ages of 2007, the whole thing left me breathless, it was such a weird and wonderful world. Now, maybe it feels more like a comfortable marriage. I wish I had time to visit all of the blogs that I enjoy every day, leaving meaningful comments each time. The blogging friendships I have made are very sweet. But I don't even update my blogroll all that often!

Anyway, I'll just point you in the direction of a few blogs that you may not have seen before. The bloggers that inspired me to start my own were Poodle Doc, the Quaker Agitator, and Caroline's Crayons. Once I got started, I quickly connected with Sacred Suzie, GoldenDaze Ginnie, Suzie-K and Pam at Cape and Tights, who are all part of a network of creative bloggers. Then my family got in on the act, so you can check out Enriched Geranium, Cinderbelle and Sparkly Sea Cow (who doesn't post nearly often enough.) Then there's Fran, Jan, and Diane (doesn't that have a nice musical sound?)

I love my blogging connections, so I hope you don't feel slighted if I didn't link to you here ...
