THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you have any particular “quirks” when it comes to reading? (eg. taking notes while reading, etc)
Here is my Monday Musing response to "I blogged about _________ this past week".
I blogged about a lot of things this week -- nothing earth shattering or particularly interesting but things that were impacting me personally.
I remember when I first learned about blogs. My son's friend, Mundee, had a blog. I asked him what that was, he told me, and I immediately decided I wanted one as well. I was intrigued. I like to write so I decided this would be a perfect outlet for me. I discovered almost as immediately that some days there was just nothing to write about. I also discovered that was ok.
Then came Facebook and I got hooked into that. It is fun and yet it is just a bit evil. It allows me to keep up with family and friends that I don't see often. It also allows me to waste lots and lots of time. I find it depressing a lot of the time because there is so much sadness and anger expressed there. That might work for some but not for me.
So, I have come back to my blog and I have discovered that I need to write something, anything, every day. I try to do pictures. I try to do memes like this when nothing is going on but I do try to be present every day. I have a very small following and that is fine with me. I correspond with my followers on a regular basis and call them friends. So, while my writing doesn't span the vast horizons, it has allowed me to create my little corner of the world with like minded people and I can escape to this corner whenever I want and it brings me comfort and joy.
With that, I invite you to join me at boyett-brinkley.blogspot.com.
