Comment of the Week

I don't know how many blogs I read, because I haven't counted them lately. But there are several. Often, someone posts something that I'd never thought of before... or has a new take on something I'd given considerable thought to and never seen from his or her perspective.

I read blogs from Christians. Atheists. Homeschoolers. Left wing. Right wing. Crafty people. People with a lot of anger. People who write funny stuff. Single folks. Married. People who have varying degrees of writing ability. They all have things to say. It's a huge variety of people and viewpoints. It's definitely expanded my horizons.

I can't read a blog without reading the comments people leave.

I really enjoy the comments I get, too. I love reading them.

Sometimes the comments I read elsewhere or get here at Casa Mental are funny or profound or come from such a unique angle that I go 'hmm' all afternoon.

So today starts a new feature for my blog. I won't guarantee it's a regular thing, but when I find a comment here or elsewhere that makes me do one of the above (smile, go hmm, think...) then I'm going to link it here as my Saturday post.

Today's comment appeared on my blog Thursday. It came from Gail at Tales of Homeschool
Gail's blog features a lot of things, including two perfectly lovely daughters with hair that occasionally looks like worms .
(You have to go look at the photos on this page to understand.)
And I'm still tickled that she posted that picture just for me.

Anyway. In response to my post Know what I hate? Gail left a hysterically funny comment. It made me snicker all afternoon. Had the same effect on everyone I shared it with. And sitting here writing this post, it made me laugh again.
