AN ADDED PATH






Something has got to change or I will drive myself crazy. I like telling some of the stories of my life, but I seriously doubt they are of much interest to anyone other than my family and myself. The stats bear that out. I receive one-two glances at a page per day. I guess that’s OK. I did not start writing with any believe that even a dozen would be interested, but I find the blog confining. I think I threw the baby out with the bath water when I dropped my first blog. I did it for a very good reason. I felt like writing about The Home was getting repetitious, but5 I also took the freedom to write about life and my thoughts. I do like to rant at times.
I am not going to drop the blog I now have, but I am going to add another one with the intent of writing in each blog one two or three times a week. If I don’t comment on something in the church, the world, politics, culture or just something that ticks me off from time to time I will explode.
I am very sorry that so many of my friends at The Home have various illnesses and certain things are not working the way they should. Me too! But there is only some much to say and when they get into medical language I am completely lost and not longer good at looking interested.
Friends here are bothered by my casual approach to my own health problems. I am not trying to get sick and I am doing what I know to do in hopes avoiding illness and prolonging my life, but I am not anxious. As I have checked, it has occurred to me that the Scriptures are right. “It is appointed unto man, once to die.” I admit to being glad it is only once, especially if my experience tends to be painful. I really don’t like pain.
My new blog will include random thoughts and ideas about whatever ever is on my mind. Maybe this has happened to you, but my ideas have evolved. Some may believe that is not a good thing. So be it. I don’t know exactly what this new blog will be called, but I am toying with “View from the Pew.” I miss talking about the church, world events, culture, and ideas. This will be my outlet. It’s time to write about our silliness.
I will let you know the new blog name when it launches.

WHO EDITS THESE POSTS? I can't type or think. I must have been out of my mind. Why start another blog. I have six followers, I may never get that many again. Tell you what I'm going to do. If I want to say something else, I will just say it right here in this blog. Sure will be easier.

I did what blogger asked me to do. Upgrade to their new and improve (and easier) format. They must be joking. I can't find anything. I've been ten minutes just trying to find out how to edit a post. Why must everyone feel the need to change everything. Is there nothing can be left alone. While I'm at it — stop changing my cereal and my laundry detergent. I brought the old model because I liked the old model. Frankly, I can't tell that you changed anything except the packaging and that you reduced in size and raised the price. I guess I am the sucker that is born every minute. But I want you to know I feel cheated and when I find a newer and more improved cereal, I'm changing brands.

I'm actually very much enjoying this blog. I think I've read all of the posts. you are a good writer and should consider making this into a book when your finished. it's apparently quite easy to publish your own books, and you only print as many as you are going to use.
Glad tou are feeling a bit better.

Happy Easter!

I've loved your reminisces- discovered your "new" blog and devoured every post over the last couple of days. Please don't stop! But write whatever you wish, I like reading you no matter what it's about.

Well I enjoy it all :-) I subscribe to your blog through a news program so I don't know if it shows up at your end as a page viewing and countable.

Sure hope your feeling better and had a nice Easter Sunday.

Look forward to your new blog and/or picking up where you left off on your other blog! Take care of yourself!!
