BUT... then, I know that this blogging has only brought positive to my life so I guess for me, thats the bottom line. That and the fact that if I ever decide that I am done with this type of journaling, I can always have my blog all bound up in a book to put away with the rest of my journals/diarys. It is still a record of our lives.And that is a good thing for our future generations! <BR/>xxLori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-597304746907674472009-02-07T12:50:00.000-08:002009-02-07T12:50:00.000-08:00I think the thing about blogging is to write with ...I think the thing about blogging is to write with yourself in mind - I began, believing my writing would be like me shouting, echoing into a cave...<BR/><BR/>Then, we find friends we can laugh with and occasionally console, we can talk about as if they were friends, as others have said here - Many bloggers will continue to come and some will fall by the wayside, satiated...<BR/><BR/>I think of it more as a hobby, than a fad.

And look, you have followed my advice and now know about Angela in Cape Town! Doesn`t this really enrich our lives? I am also, like Cheryl, telling my husband about my blog friends, and that`s fun to both of us. Did I say we have a house to rent out?

I drove into Austin today with my husband and on the way talked about the people with whom I blog. I really was thinking that what people say brings other things to mind. It makes us think more. As I drove along I was thinking (and discussing with Gerald) what my next few blogs would be. And about adding a postscript to one I've already done. I think this blogging makes us more creative. We are involved,using our minds, stretching ourselves.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-66494381553327595382009-02-05T10:22:00.000-08:002009-02-05T10:22:00.000-08:00Distracting?
