I've made long-term friends via the A-to-Z, and think the conversation often continues past April, though it slows down quite a bit.

My section of the list was enough ;-) However, it's a joy to read all the Reflections posts as I'm the road trip. Nice also to be able to thank people like you who visited and I had no time to visit back until now. So hi! And thanks for the comments. Sorry about the lung infection. I've had many of those and "coughing heap on the bed" is a familiar phrase.

As for keepi...Congrats on your A-Z achievement! :)<br /><br />As for keeping up blogging relationships, well generally I find that if you continue to visit those you meet through blogging, you're going to continue to get visits from them as well. At least if you have enough in common with them for both of you to want to keep it going. But sometimes people really do drop off on the visits, and that might mean that you have to give up on visiting them back because you have enough else to do during your day as it is!<br /><br />Just some thoughts. ;)Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-22970721408756584442013-05-10T01:07:24.056-04:002013-05-10T01:07:24.056-04:00Some friendships will survive, some will get lost ...Some friendships will survive, some will get lost and found again next year and some will disappear for good. <br /><br />I love reading and during the challenge I met many great writers/bloggers - you are one of them :) Thank you for sharing your world.EvalinaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560920752412411766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-13232341757727372022013-05-08T00:25:15.680-04:002013-05-08T00:25:15.680-04:00Great reflection post.

I spent too much time getting them ready, researching etc to want to change them and perhaps that cost me visits/comments. How many keep visiting is a key point. I added folks to my blog log that visited more then once to continue to do just that. However, I'm already in need of deleting people in this short time frame. Several changed their blogs making comments next to impossible unless you join things; so they apparently wont' be doing much back and forth visiting.<br /><br />Nice review.Sandyhttp://flatstanleyfriends.blogspot.com/2013/05/reflections-of-z-challenge.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-87522267860474657842013-05-03T09:46:11.974-04:002013-05-03T09:46:11.974-04:00I agree, and some of the most interesting blogs we...I agree, and some of the most interesting blogs were educations in other interests.John Wiswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416044628686736927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-58035730140433969872013-05-03T09:45:44.304-04:002013-05-03T09:45:44.304-04:00I appreciate the credit, Bev!
