Lurker: From Wikipedia. In Internet culture, a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a message board, newsgroup, chatroom, file sharing or other interactive system, but rarely or never participates actively.
Do you lurk? I think you do! This post is a shout out to all my lurking friends. You know who you are! But…lurking is not a bad thing. It is actually acceptable.
This past week, I have had at least four conversations with different family members and friends who have commented on one of my recent blog posts. It always takes me a moment to realize, “Hey, there is actually someone out there!” My analytic reports do tell me that I have many readers, but only a handful of you actually leave a comment to show that you have been visiting.
So, a big thank you for your visit, and welcome back to those of you who are repeat lurkers. I do love the comments too, though, so take a moment just to say hello and let me know that you are out there!

Ok, ok. I’ll de-lurk. 🙂
Hey! I’m out here! but I know what you mean, I feel the same way!
