Thank you for your kindness to me and my city during this tragic time here. My posts have been very focused on this tragedy because it is impacting a place I love very much and its people. One thing this blog is dedicated to being is relevant and timely. Current events are an important thing to chronicle. News and information are valuable parts of our culture and I want to capture. Sharing our lives means the things that happens to us daily. To everyone who is still hanging with me, I appreciate you all.

A Social Ramble
I find that WordPress, Twitter and sometimes Tumblr are better places to be than Facebook. I don’t know what it is but I think Facebook can bring someone down. Sure there are tons of pet videos but that can’t be the only thing keeping someone there. Blogging seems to be a more open social environment for better discussion. I would so love to log out of Facebook but it keeps people coming back because of the connections you have there. Not everyone blogs so that is a problem. Maybe I just need to logout of Facebook for awhile. I would much rather blog, Tweet and Instagram anyway.
Question Of The Day: How Far?
How far would you go to help someone? Across town, across the country, across the world? Some folks will go to another country to lend aid and comfort but won’t go across town when its needed.
So the question is How far would you go to help a friend, a neighbor, a stranger, your community.
Rambling About Changes
Everything changes, it’s a fact of life and technology. We all have things that come along that are different and new. Some of us can handle transitions better than others. Getting used to things that are unfamiliar is a real challenge for many. Being open minded can help us adjust to things that come along in life. Nothing remains the same for too long. An idea, a revolution, a communal desire to see change can make some uncomfortable which presents a whole other set of issues. The one thing we have to do in all of life is to keep our cool and hopefully have an open mind to doing something we aren’t used to doing.
So if you are going through a lot of change, know others have been down the same road as you. It will be alright. Have faith in your own abilities to adapt to the new. We all have changes ahead that we have to cope with. Hang in there good people, things will be alright…have some faith
The WordPress Reader
The reader on the WordPress dashboard has updated and functions differently. It looks more streamlined and works better. Whenever the Tumblr dashboard would be updated and changed people would go nuts because they don’t handle change very well for some reason. Good work WordPress!
Thank you for your hospitality
Whenever I visit your blogs I appreciate your hospitality. I think it’s important to have a blog that is welcoming to ones readers and encourages feedback. Of course its good to mind your manners when visiting a blog. You can do that by liking posts, offering positive commentary when possible and being respectful. A blog is an online home where you are a guest and you should never over stay your welcome, although I am not sure how that happens. Hospitality is an important concept in all of life. It’s important to be inviting and kind. Hospitality in life and on your blog is a two-way street my friends.
Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were. ~Author Unknown
