Blogging . . .

   I guess my "site pal" was a bomb.  Here I was thinking that it would be unique and stuff.  Turned out that it was annoying to some people who complained to Googlepex who in turn threatened to suspend me until I stopped my blog from talking.  It doesn't have to start up when the window opens - I just thought it would be fun.  Wrong.  It is fairly simple to operate, and can have a start button on it.  I think it's really unique, and I thought it was amazing.  Maybe on someone else's blog, someone who knows what the heck they're doing.  Anyway, there is a link to the site where you can get one if you want one.

   I got a dumb remark on my last post that I decided to delete, only because of the name that they chose to use for themselves.  I don't appreciate it.  The remark wasn't very earth shaking, either.  I invite anyone's criticism, but prefer a little manners.

   I have met some truly amazing people since I started blogging.  They are listed under "Amazing People" with links to their blogs.  I'd like to share a little about each of them over the next several posts.  I check their blogs every day looking for new posts.  Some amazing people have gotten lost or stopped blogging.  There are other amazing people who leave comments on my blogs that really touch my heart, and help me keep blogging.  I am truly blessed with their caring enough to cheer me on when things are rough.  So here's a very sincere "thank you" to all of them.

  The first blogger that I started to follow was Janet, "Cog Blog."  Even though she has a life, a family, and a job, she took the time to try to get to know me a little.  Janet was originally from New Jersey, and now lives in Vermont.  She has a wonderful sense of humor that is reflected in her posts.  We seemed to become friends so easily, and share the same views in a lot of areas.  Check out "Cog Blog" and I'm sure you will enjoy it, too.

   "Blogging" has really helped me in so many ways.  Through my blogs I am able to explore myself and sometimes find answers to things that I question, find things to amuse myself and hopefully others, and work through some of the really tough life events that knock the wind out of me.  So, thank you again for taking the time to read a post, and commenting when the spirit moves you!

Thanks for the nice post Trudie. I really enjoy reading all of your blogs, and always look forward to the next one. I feel like we are connected in a lot of ways. Say Hi to Jersey for me because I don't think I'll make it down for a visit before school starts. Keep blogging, and I'll definitely keep reading!

Trudie, you truly are an amazing person. I love reading what you write, and I love it that you read me. I love it that you leave nice comments that pick me up on a bad day. Thank you for extending that hand of friendship to me.

It's true. Been confirmed in print. I've even met a few. Some people have no sense of humor. Haven't had fun a day in their lives.
Don't let them get you down.

Keep blogging. If you're not having fun, you're mot doing it right.

The truth is, you just never know.

6 years ago, I wound up meeting the young lady I married because she saw my poetry on a "friendster" type site called SixDegrees.com. I had no idea where she was, and she had no idea where I was..... and we discovered we were about a 90 minute drive from each other.

She is truly the love of my life. And I got the opportunity to be with her because of the narcissism that convinced me somebody else would want to read something I wrote. It is an amazing thing.
