I have amassed a good number of followers over the years. However, I feel some of them have fallen off the radar so to speak. If you can see this say howdy and I hope you are doing well. Let’s reconnect somehow. Also, keep on blogging too. Let’s make the Internet and blogging fun again.
This achievement snuck up on me today. I can’t believe it’s been seventeen years since I first got a WordPress.com blogging account. I have not been posting regularly all those years but it’s cool to be recognized. Thanks to everyone who has made these years of blogging fun a reality. As I always say, keep on blogging good people.
Today is Mother’s Day and I want to salute all moms who are true heroes. Some mothers are biological, some through adoption, and some care for kids who are in need, through various situations. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful pet moms who have two and four-legged kids. Many parents out there are both mother and father and that is to be saluted. Some have strained relationships with their mothers and that cannot be ignored. No matter what I hope you all have someone you can call mom to be there for you. Thank you Moms of all persuasions.
Hey, you guys it’s the weekend. Let it be a great one for each of us. Have fun and all that jazz. Love and peace to you all.
Being in a community means different things to different people. Whether it be in-person or virtually having connections hopefully can create a bond that can convey respect and love. Barbara Streisand sang “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world” and I tend to agree with that. Of course, boundaries are essential for healthy connections and community.
You create a society in schools, libraries, retail shops, work, museums, sports, houses of worship, and other spaces. Of course, online communities can transcend time and space. Many online communities came about from the Coronavirus pandemic. In any case, it requires being intentional about making communities work and thrive.
I hope I am the best person I can be no matter what community/group I find connections in. Hopefully, building connections can make us all better people.
There are times when I am down and don’t want others to be down, so I find it within me to be positive. It’s hard but worth it. However, I do know that an empty cup cannot fill other cups that are empty too.
