As I sit here with my laptop on this relatively lazy Sunday, (lazy in comparison to the chaos that is Blogging A-Z in April) I’m thinking about how much I appreciate the people who visit me here at Life in Progress, and at my fiction blog, Inspiration in Progress. Over the past couple of years my blogs have grown to what amounts sometimes to a thriving metropolis; a place for like minds and kindred spirits to connect. I write to inspire comments and though I don’t always reply promptly, I enjoy them immensely. What can I say – I love the further inspiration I that comes from your feedback!
WordPress is a huge wealth of entertainment, information, commiseration, and friendship. I’ve talked so much in the past about the sense of community here but it never fails to amaze me how so many people, from so many different countries and cultures can have so much in common. Of course what it boils down to is the fact that we are all the same on the inside. Race has never been, in my eyes, a reason to differentiate, nor has sexual orientation, religious beliefs, nor any of those things which divide our populations. What matters to me is how we behave. Again, it’s all part of being one type of creature – human.
But I digress. Blogging brings us all together. Our lives are intertwined by a platform which allows us to express ourselves however we choose – and I’m grateful for all of those who choose to be part of my community.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in my One-Liner Wednesday and SoCS prompts (even though it takes me a while to read your posts – I really try to keep up!), each of you who visit through the A-Z Challenge, and to all of you who keep coming back. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.

Totally agree with you. At the time when I registered with WP, I didn’t even know there exists a full-fledged community. When I discovered this fact, again I wasn’t sure I want this or not. Now, after around 4 months, I am addicted to it so much that I prefer this community to the real world. I seem to be lost, as I don’t even know what goal I had to begin with. I’m writing poems, articles, this and that but no set goal no niche as such. Wonder where this will take me.

You are so right. The WP universe is my sanctuary and I love it. Just hope it doesn’t become obsolete soon, when the next best thing in technology comes along, because I am finally getting comfortable with it and I am slow to take to this stuff. I hope it goes on for many years to come.
