For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
I know that I haven’t done much reading,
So to everyone I am really pleading,
Forgiveness for this is what I’m needing,
And I will get right back to reading.
I got behind which is really bad,
I want you to know it makes me sad.
I promise to make it better in time,
Which is why I’m writing this rhyme.
I needed to give my eyes a break
All this screen time was keeping me awake.
If I didn’t do it, then for sure,
My eyes, I think, would have no cure.
I’m glad you haven’t left me yet,
You’re all great, that’s a sure bet.
Time to put things back in place
Catching up will be a race!

It seems that once I get behind it’s impossible to catch up completely, so I decided I will have to skip older ones I missed and stay with the newer ones. Sigh. I guess I’m a slow reader or something.ππ

Well, it is litereally impossible to read everyone’s posts unless you sit in front of the computer all day and do nothing else but read.
I have those I read regularly like yours, Warren’s, Amy’s Kathy’s, Vickie’s, Purple Rose’s, Lillian’s and the rest I will binge read to get caught up. Then the next day it is a different blogger.
