Okay, so I've decided I'm not going to stop blogging right now. I've realized that now is probably not the time to walk away.
So what happened yesterday? Well two things. First, I had someone leave a comment about how moderate Republicans are basically relegated to the history books. It's nice to know when all of your hard work is being trashed as hopeless and worthless by some joker who probably hasn't lifted a finger to bring change other than share his two cents on some website. That really got me down and frustrated.
Then there was the loss of a long time follower of this blog. He basically said there were no real Republicans reading this blog. Ouch. Another blow.
For a while it made me think that this blog was pointless. It was hard to lose someone who seemed to have given up.
But I recieved a few comments this morning that basically told me not to give up and that made the difference.
So, I will be blogging again, though it might not be as frenetic as it has been. And I will probably take the week of Christmas off to just rest and celebrate.
I know that many people think that being a moderate Republican is a waste of time. But I have to believe that there is some reason that I stay in this party. I know that I will not change it overnight. Anyone looking for a quick fix is going to be disappointed. But I do think that my efforts as well as the efforts of other groups will make a difference in the long run.
Thanks to the three readers of this blog who gave me hope. You don't know what that means to me.
