As of now, I'm having a difficult time managing my time and I wouldn't be able to comment as often. I do always comment back, it may take awhile. I enjoy blogging, but it's very time consuming.

I totally agree with Kimberly.

It is horrible, but this year family, health and issues pertaining to those I love have made things difficult. Rather than step down because I love blogging so much, I have been seriously hit and miss on the visiting and commenting back to the Sunday Post. After almost eight years of blogging I hope people know me enough to realize I am there when I can be.

I want people to feel they can relax and say what they want without worrying if their comment is worthy. Sometimes I'm frazzled and can't think of something great to say so I at least say thanks for sharing your thoughts so they know I read their post.<br /><br />Thanks, Mary!Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664550140978579485.post-24037069141043734322018-11-27T19:34:56.240-05:002018-11-27T19:34:56.240-05:00Blogging is not easy, but I agree with a lot of th...Blogging is not easy, but I agree with a lot of things you mentioned in your post about commenting. I would rather not comment than leave a throw away comment, but I will look through older posts and find something I can comment on, because I do think it's important to comment back, if I want to create/maintain a relationship with that person.

I just started working more than fulltime and whereas I usually had to time to comment back easily, I now even struggle to find time to write posts. This means I'm incredibly behind on commenting back but I do keep track of the comments I need to reply to and will do so during the Christmas holidays when I will finally have the time to go through every thing. This does make me feel awful though.

Some types of posts like blog tours and things are ones I basically avoid as they are mostly genres I don't read or books that don't interest me-I will comment on a horror one if it sounds good though!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664550140978579485.post-23416150805225348092018-11-26T19:02:43.565-05:002018-11-26T19:02:43.565-05:00Great post, Mary!

Commenting can really be a balancing act - should you comment on something even if you don't really have anything of great substance to add to show support, or only on those posts where your comment may be more meaningful?
