Quote Of The Day

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thought Of The Day 12182023

I am a believer who thinks science, data, logic, and reason matter as much as religion. Some decisions must be made using tools that were given to men and women for operations of a lot of things. Religion has a purpose in the lives of many but it isn’t the only factor in a believer’s life. God gave us brains and a heart and when we don’t use them they can do great harm to others. Also, don’t be afraid of the future. Don’t look back because you aren’t going that way.

Some Santa Claus Humor For The Christmas Holiday

Drama fuels the world’s raging fires.

Viral On Threads, Boring On WordPress?

A post from my Threads feed https://www.threads.net/@tonyburgess1969

I think I have been blogging consistently for 15 years or so. In that time I have never had any post get more than the number of likes I got on this post on the Threads platform which is run by the folks of Instagram/Meta. This post about celebrating Hanukkah has gotten 928 plus likes and 44 replies That is what I call a viral response.

No blog post on any of the blogging platforms I have used has even come close to that number. I even use tags on my blog posts to reach a wider audience. I am just wondering if I have become stale to my blogging audience? This is just something I am wondering about.
