A lot of people would love to win that $1.3 billion Powerball Lottery jackpot that is out there right now. However it would change everything for the winner of that fortune. One person would be giddy and millions of others would be really bummed. Money does affect every part of one’s life. It can bring some happiness but it could bring much tragedy and sadness. More dollars don’t bring much sense. People would need some sound financial advice in order to manage that enormous amount of money. Relationships can change and they won’t always be good. People come out of the woodwork to get a piece of one’s pocketbook. Is wealth worth it?It truly is a personal decision when it comes to riches.
This is one of my favorite songs on the subject. Cyndi Lauper puts it all in perspective with this song from back in the day.
Change it’s a part of life
You find it in your pocket
Old gives way to new
Its about the times
People, places, faces in transition
Regeneration from one person to another
The seasons come and go
Growing in life and love
Coming into life and passing into death
It is a human thing
Technology getting better
Going from war into peace
Adapting and adopting
Its about you and its about me
My blog is a chronicle of my stream of life. Whatever is going on with me, what I am thinking, and the news of the day is what you will find here. I like to post immediately when the inspiration strikes. Whether I’m out and about or reading something cool, even watching a movie if I get an idea it needs to be on my blog.
Some bloggers are about carefully written posts that have had time to simmer in the hearts and minds of their writers. Others post things in real time as it comes to them.
There are different kinds of bloggers and that is what makes this whole thing fun. As long as we keep on blogging its going to be all good.
I have written about when bloggers go away on this blog and how sad it is. Now I would like to say how cool it is to see bloggers you haven’t seen in awhile come back to regular posting. The blogosphere is better with all of us. To all of you who are back to blogging I salute you!
To those who are beginning their blogs or new to blogging I salute you for being awesome in joining the blogging community. Here are 3 tips to make blogging fun and to help you post more regularly.
Write short posts. No more than 3 paragraphs with 3-4 sentences each. Make it on something you are interested in or how your day is going. Some folks will do a poem or other type of post. Remember the attention span of most people is short so brevity is important.
Post pictures. Its an easy way to get a post up with visual impact. Add a paragraph supporting what the picture is about and why it means something to you. You can also use pictures in your short posts.
Post videos. You can embed YouTube videos in your posts which can support the overall theme of your blog. It also makes your blog more multimedia which is always fun.
I encourage every blogger to “Keep on Blogging”. Make this journey fun and connect with other bloggers for more ideas as you go along.
