We all struggle with the proverbial foot-in-mouth thing that gets us into trouble. Everyone says something that they don’t mean at times. Its a part of that terminal condition of being human and making mistakes. A friend reminded me how everyone wishes they could turn back time and do things differently or say things differently at least. The best thing one can do is say you are sorry and try not to do it again. Then there are times when you shouldn’t say anything at all.

Welcome May 2015!
It is now May 2015 which is hard to believe. April sped by rather quickly but time marches on. We have new opportunities to do amazing things. May we all have fun this month.
One Thing I Like
One thing I like about the folks blogging here is that there is more actual blogging going on. I am a fan of a good original post and you can find it here. Can I say the platform is more mature and it fosters greater discussion and understanding.
Thank You WordPress Community
I appreciate all the likes and feedback I have received here. You are appreciated. Keep on blogging good people.
This Thing Called Blogging
I think this thing called blogging is a great way to share a thought you have in the moment. For me its a way of chronicling the events of my life. There are times when I have to say something and to get feedback from people outside my head. It’s important to have a creative outlet where your voice can be heard.
All I hope is that I have something people are interested in hearing. My experience with blogging is one where there is something worth posting about if you pay attention. I tend to take a “breaking news” approach to my posts where I want to blog in the moment. Some folks like to accumulate thoughts and ideas and do one big post but for me if I don’t get it out there it will just disappear.
I do appreciate the contemplative approach to many bloggers here. They are thoughtful, deliberate and focused about what they post and it shows. Maybe I can get there one day.
Post Length
I blog several times a day with posts of varying length. Some of my fellow bloggers here on WordPress are incredible writers who can pump out over 1000 words without sweat. My posts are lucky if they reach 200 words or so. You can get your point across in different ways whether it be words, pix, video, etc. However does a longer post get taken more seriously than a shorter one?
I guess I want to keep things brief or perhaps I just run out of things to say. Peoples life experience can influence and inform their blogging so I guess if you have done much you have a lot to say. One thing I can say is that I am a decent writer (who needs help with punctuation) and I am from the school that our attention span is shorter these days so I need to say what I need to say quickly. Not to say a long post can’t keep ones attention. Some folks can write forever on a subject and that inspires me. Writing comes from research, living and self examination and to be a better blogger who can write with authority doing those things can make a difference.
Well, WordPress tells me this post is over 200 words. Amazing.
