I have decided to simplify my life.  (Perhaps this is nesting come a bit early.)  My neighborhood grew too large for me to keep up with everyone and I have done some trimming.  Some people's blogs I never read, some hadn't updated for months (some had been so long I forgot why I added them in the first place), and some I found I just didn't have a common bond with.  I am putting this post up because I do not want to email every person I trimmed or will trim in the future and explain my decision (I know some expect correspondence when cut and I just don't think I can or want to do that). 

I can assure you that you are likely a very lovely person, but I am evaluating the amount of time I spend on this site and the reasons why.  I have never been of the "have the largest neighborhood" mentality and I want the connections I make here to be meaningful.  If my community is too large, I simply cannot keep up with you and I believe that having you in my neighborhood means something more than you being a mere face on the screen.
