The first of the week has been a bit of
a pile up. One day I was down in bed and the next was just catching
up getting to my meetings and Wellness. I let things go in the
electronic arena go—I kind of fell off the grid and you know what?
Being off was not half bad. I don't know if I have the will. Strength
or desire to leave to go completely “dark” but it has been fun
thinking about.
I really like social media nut I don't
need social media. I use Face Book most, the Twitter then a couple of
others. I like keeping up with lost friends of my youth—I have
often wondered if I am using FB et al as “fountain of youth”
trying to convince I was popular at a time when I was not all that
popular. Even now social media is still just a few of the old folks,
the most popular still eludes the main groups by not using social
media at all are, all have established private net works. History is
doomed to repeat itself.
I like the blog but not really from a
social aspect, however I do enjoy feedback from folk who read my
posts. Again my whole idea of getting into blogging was to have a
venue where I could write, and have to write, on a regular basis and
not have to jump through a lot of hoops to be out in public. The draw
back is how few people “tune in” or leave comments but really
that is OK too...it's not for me it by me . I write and if nothing
else the blog is a record of my writing frequency. Sadly the blog may
be my only long term attempt of
writing. I am currently working on my second thousand posts—which
not matter how I look at the number the number is huge. Most post are
500 words are more which is about a page typed—so, if wrote even a
fraction of this number on one focused topic I would have a real book
written –I would be a real writer.
I have
the bits of technology attached to my blogs which allow have some
grasp of how many and where visitors to my blog there are and where
them come from i.e. Asia, Europe and beyond.
The
blog is safe and lets me write, post the blogs out on the Internet
for the public giving me cred for doing something with the written
word if anyone were ever to really check the blog out. I must admit
I HAVE BEEN CHECKED OUT by folks from other continents and they have
even left comments—these have made my day. But I am happy at those
family member who follow and leave comments, and I am surprised at
who some have been.
The
blog is proof to anyone in the social network universe that I am
more then just a pretty face on FB and Twitter—I have a real house
of words with rooms and rooms to explore and surprising few
redundancies even illustrated here and there with scenes from my
life.
No, I don't foresee going dark anytime
soon—I like being recognized and remembered for who I was and for
who I seem to have turned out to be.
