Day 8: You comment, I follow

Part of the reason I participate in NaBloPoMo is because it introduces me to new bloggers.  I find them through the NaBloPoMo Randomizer and the Blogroll, and other bloggers find me through that same mechanism and sometimes leave a comment.  As I have written about in the past, I'm not the best commenter, and I tend to have long-time readers who don't like to comment as well.  I've been trying to break out of that mold over the last year though, and I've met some really interesting people as a result. 

When I leave comment, I open myself up, especially when it's someone I don't know.  The internet is often about anonymity, and many people, like myself, enjoy this voyeuristic aspect.  Life is about connections however, and as strange this medium may be, it is possible to meet kindred spirits.  We're all on life's journey.

So today I'm going to post my own little blogroll: bloggers who have left comments this month.  Click on the links, and go check them out.  If you feel up to it, leave a comment and tell them I sent you.  We all write posts hoping someone will read them and respond.  Here's your chance.
