Dear readers,
Today I decided to dedicate a few lines to all y’all out there reading this.
There are more of you than I ever imagined would come to read my blog, and some from countries where I know for a fact that I have no family members or friends, so this is a heartfelt thank you for reading my words. For those of you who want news of the husband, there is none now, when there is I’ll post on it, promise.
First and foremost, a moment of gratitude to all of you who’ve done this:

First and foremost, a moment of gratitude to all of you who’ve done this:
Thank you for liking me on facebook and reposting my posts on your page, thanks for tweeting my posts and sharing with your friends, thanks for reading my words and commenting, on here, on fb and via email, in short, thanks for participating in my life.
This is going to be a tough time for us, but I’m not going to make this a “woe is me” blog, so if you find me still occasionally posting on totally random things don’t worry, I probably won’t be doped up on acids (they’re the ones that make you euphoric, aren’t they?), it’s just that life, though despairingly depressing at times, is also wonderful and exciting and I believe we need to capture that aspect more than ever when we’re facing challenges. One of the wonderful things in life, I’ve found, is blogging. It allows me to share my feelings, my thoughts, it allows me to rant and to express myself and unlike the journal of old, I actually get feedback and feedback is great. (well, it can suck too but one must always take the bad with the good, right?) At this point, all of you veterans of the blogging world know where I’m going with this, cause this is in fact a thinly veiled de-lurking post. Lurkers are those reader that come and don’t comment, cause well, let’s be honest most of the time you don’t have time to comment or possibly you’ve got nothing to say, which is just fine, cause I’m supposed to entertain you and not the other way around. But as the title of this post says, Hello, I love you (and I love the fact that you’re reading me at all) won’t you tell me your name?
So, today, just this once, if you’ve got time and are so inclined, leave me a line, say hello. I would really like to meet you!
Now, if only I could figure out how to put in an email subscription…
p.s. if you don't recognize what the title to this post refers to, you're too young to be reading this blog!
Hi :) Go to feedburner.com for the email subscription. It's been a while since I did it, but I think you claim your url and then you'll get some nice statistics and the ability to do the e-mail subscription.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I'm a little dense when it comes to these things... and since we're on the subject (sort of) how did you do that little reply thing where you can reply to a specific comment?
ReplyDeleteHello; love you too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHola, Te quiero.
ReplyDeleteCiao ragazza, ti voglio bene....Barbs
ReplyDeleteHiya! If you are tweeting and have a FB page, email subscription should be real easy...I managed and am not half as tecnnological as you. If I remember how I did it, you become a free member of feedburner and get the widget for email subscription to put on the sidebar of your blog. Love ya
ReplyDeleteCiao, sono Alessandro e sono qui.
ReplyDeleteIl mio nome è MIcky siamo amiche dal 1986, è ne abbiamo passato e credo superato periodi orrendi sia di amicizia sia di vita personale. Forse sono l'unica a scriverti in Italiano ma i sentimenti li esprimo meglio nella mia lingua madre. Lo sai e lo sapete che TORNIAMO A VIVERE A MILANO così potremo vederci più spesso e stare insime qualche we. Per il resto ti dico che tutti i vostri blog sono bellissimi e che OS QUIERO MUCHISIMO .... Carlotta, Pepe e Micky
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Yara, helps me get through my day! See you tomarrow morning, amy
ReplyDeleteYara,If I don't usually post a comment it's not because I don't follow you ... I was here and I will be always with you all. I promise: from now on you will receive many many comments. A big huge! Bisou ... Annina (Abbiategrasso)
ReplyDeletePS sorry for my English ... it's quite "maccheronico"
Hi Yara, when I read your Moomser I felt so helpless and sad. However, I am sure Alessandro will get through this with strength & support from family & friends - even those who are so far away. Your children are so beautiful, happy & healthy, I wish I was there to give them mille baci e faccio la bambinaia! Love & kisses to you all, Hilary xxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Yara,
ReplyDeleteI am here, reading your blog when I have time, and I've never told you but I think you are a fantastic writer. I admire your candor, insight, humor and strength. From long ago days in Houston to now you have grown up into a thoughtful and wonderful person, wife and mother. Stay strong.
Hugs and kisses, Beth P.
Hello, I'm writing from just a bit north of you in France. I try and comment often. I'm not sure how I found your blog now but it has become a favorite read of mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you all for commenting. The husband and I read all your comments on the ipad yesterday on our way to milan (for a second opinion on his treatment options) and they totally made our day. Will post an update on his situation soon, btw.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see (with some help, thanks Jessica Anne and Nuts about food!) I managed to work out the email subscription thingy for the blog. Next I'll hopefully figure out how to respond to the individual comment (some blogs have a reply feature, any advice on this is welcome!) and I'll be able to interact with you via comments more effectively. By golly, this blog's improving by leaps and bounds. Thanks again y'all!
Grazie a tutti dei commenti, qualsiasi lingua (comprensibile a me, ovviamente!) è apprezzata. Un forte abbraccio a tutti.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on your blog today through scarymommy.com. I think you're great, and you, your family, and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAmy, thank you. Unfortunately your profile isn't available through blogger. Do you have a blog? I would've liked to visit!
