The short answer is that I rarely respond in my own comments, and then usually with regards to a question. But I'll elaborate and invite discussion on Wed. On the intent to comment thought, it means that I read paying attention to what is going through my head, and I record that in the comments... sometimes. I still don't comment on everything I read, but if it garners a reaction then I say something.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-3145708450424417532011-01-16T09:04:38.878-05:002011-01-16T09:04:38.878-05:00Reading with an intent to comment . . .

Sometimes I can't even find anything useful to say on my own blog, much less someone else's.<br /><br />What do you all think about responding to comments left on your blog? Do you always respond, sometimes, almost never?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-76018188618774662102011-01-13T20:42:49.632-05:002011-01-13T20:42:49.632-05:00I completely agree with Lee, reading with the inte...I completely agree with Lee, reading with the intent to comment has really helped me read more thoughtfully. Hang in their with the challenge, I didn't do as well as I wanted this week either, not because I'm sick but because I've been trying to finish up a paper from last semester before this semester gets to crazy.

MotherReader,..."Papa Lee" cracked me up! MotherReader, I love the idea of reading with "an intent" to comment. It changes how I read, and I think it's a brilliant point. If the expectation is to engage and be engaged in a discussion, that's different than just skimming quickly to get to the next thing on our to-do lists. Okay, off to do some blog commenting! <br />Namaste and a Hug,<br />LeeLee Wind, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06314692778355984313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-53717125357711571742011-01-13T11:14:48.787-05:002011-01-13T11:14:48.787-05:00I wish I could just do this all day, but am guessi...I wish I could just do this all day, but am guessing that isn't the best plan.

I'm finding out that it's best if I set a certain amount of time to comment on blogs or else I'll probably stay online all day.Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-27075574006335978892011-01-13T09:15:16.243-05:002011-01-13T09:15:16.243-05:00Yes, feel better!

Spend lots of time curling up reading and get better soon.<br /><br />It's nice to realize that people like getting comments -- even if the comments don't seem tremendously profound. It's nice to know that people are out there reading.
