If I blog in a forest and no one is there..........did I really blog?

I need feedback. My love language is "words of affirmation". Since I have begun this blog I have spouted forth my form of wisdom to all who will hear. I have told and retold stories that illustrate the way that I think and views that I hold on various subjects. All of these stories have long been absorbed or deflected by my children. They have had their chance. Thus.... the blog.

Violet assures me that we have followers, she hears from friends about certain posts, my own children and relatives will comment on posts which include their names. But who else am I writing for? I need to know. Are my words falling on deaf ears? Is this a pitiful cry for acceptance from an anonymous audience? Maybe I need a cause to fight for. Maybe I should just shut up! Let me know either way. I want to feel loved.
