I have forgotten how even something as simple as saying "interesting post" or "thanks for a new point of view" can make a big difference.
Thanks for the reminder.

It can make a difference Borino, however unless a blogger knows the commenter, when that short and sweet, those phrases can also send up a red flag that the commenter is just parking a cheap link to their own place. The proliferance of spam has made all seasoned bloggers cautious, and erring on the side of deleting possibilities is the choice made so that spammers are not encouraged.
By the way, I just left a comment for you too - love your "Ten Things for a Better Day in Ten Minutes" and the response came back that I went to your spam filter! Good example of how aggressive we have to be these days (short and sweet comments are not my forte, so there's another lesson for me I suppose :-)

Rosa - thanks. I am proud to have been a part of your "blogging" journey! You have also been a part of mine as well. Thank you for all you do!

Rosa, what a nice reminder to share the joy! I am always so touched by the comments I get from strangers who often become friends, and my life is enriched by these connections. It's fun to just go out and click on the links in someone's blog roll, reading and enjoying and getting acquainted -- and commenting. I can't remember how you and I first connected, but I'm glad we did. Thank you for once again bringing sunshine into my day.

Scott, you are waaaay more than "part" of my blogging journey ... there's only one first, and that was you! You continue to be such an inspiration to me with your tenacity and your positive spirit - I've been thrilled to know you are infecting the rest of the world as you do; have been loving those Thailand pictures you've been sharing with us.

Aloha Verna, I am so glad you have visited me today! It is amazing what one comment can lead to when there is the intention to connect and converse, isn't there? And I am doubly sure it happens for you on Out of the Cube because of the grace and spirit you bring, being mea ho'okipa as you are!

I had an opportunity a couple of years ago to enjoy a special dinner with friends at one of Danny Meyer's restaurants in New York. I commented then and have been commenting ever since about how unbelievably perfect the service was. If you did not look like you needed anything you never saw anyone, but just turn your head away from the conversation and look like you may need something and miraculously someone was at your side instantaneously. The service all evening was impeccable and professional - not one note out of tune.
Thanks for the heads up - I'll be on my way to Border's ASAP.

Charlie I'm sure that Setting the Table is a book you'll enjoy; we'll have to compare notes the next time I see you, and you can tell me more about this story!
Mahalo for stopping by, Rosa
