Rosie O, Rosie O, Where R U?

Hi,
Happy Monday... blech... nasty spitting rain weather here in Sioux Falls SD USA

Rosie posted yesterday that the comments section of her blog would be turned off for the time being. I am not sure why, but heck, I told my husband that if even ONE person was mean to me in the comments on my blog, I would be a blubbering mess. I hope that she continues to blog

I really like to read what she has to say, and she inspires me to keep my own "therapy blog" active.. :)

- I bet people don't even realize sometimes that they are making a difference in someone else's life. I suppose that is why you should tell anyone that affects you, that they do.
I think my husband knows he does, and most of my family and closer friends, but I wanted to send a note out to anyone who reads this blog, and especially if they care to leave a commment, that I do read them, and I do take them to heart, and I really think that reading others' blogs and keeping my own going has been like therapy for me..
Like my husband says.. self-actualization ... the knowledge that you are not really that different from everyone else, that you are not a "special case" -- I think I have learned that more than anything else through this blog and reading others....
I mean.. Rosie O'donnell is living a totally different life than I am, but at the same time, when I read what she writes, I see a little bit of me in her writings every time.. and I see a LOT of me in some of them too :)
Some of the blogs I read/have read are by people that are old enough to be my mom, but still I relate to the day to day with them... aches pains, longings, hopes for self, hopes for family, hopes for the world and the future...
I started reading this person named Jessi's blog, and really got into how she thinks .. then one day her blog was gone.. it was as if for me at least, she didn't exist in a tangible form anymore.. but the thoughts that her writings provoked will be with me forever.. I can tell you that.
I guess this has gotten long, and rambling, but I really just wanted to say -- we really aren't that different from each other...

I also wanted to get this off of my chest... Call me naive, call me whatever, but I really dont get why anyone would go to Rosie's comments on her blog and say mean hurtful things, just to say them.. I mean, if you dont like her, fine, then post a comment with some meat to it, so that she knows how you feel about what she said.. then leave it at that.. but what kind of feelings do you have to have in your heart to take time out of your day, with the only purpose of that time being to purposefully hurt someone else.. - I mean, don't get my wrong, I can be just as cruel as the next guy .. I'm not saying that I'm anywhere near perfect, but GEESH .. to go out of your way to be hurtful. Just seems a little bit ridiculous to me... If you don't like Rosie O. Then don't stop in and read her blog.. or if you don't agree with the posts that you do read that she makes, then offer your opinion, and call it a day... man, people need not be as mean as possible on purpose... I can't speak for anyone but me.. and I don't even know if it bothers Rosie that much, or if she has become immune to it somehow.. but I know that that is not how *I* would like to be treated.. and I don't think it is how ANYONE *deserves* to be treated.... I'll get off the soapbox now, just had to get that nagging thought out there....
