A-Z 2014 Reflections

Wildlife Safari  April 29, 2014

Q= Did I accomplish my goals?

A= I am not sure if I really had any "goals"

other than to thematically blog each

day and to answer each commentor by

visiting and commenting on their blogs.

I had fun chosing what Spanish word 

I would use each day!

Q= Did I post every day?

A= Yep-I did. I managed to post each day

early enough in the day to enable 

visiting blogs I had chosen to follow

without being online too long.

Q= Did I make new friends?

A= Yep- I did. I enjoyed talking back and

forth with a few bloggers I discovered

during this years Challenge, plus a few

that I had gotten to know last year that I

had continued to visit since then.

This year I added a sidebar on my blog

that listed what A-Z'ers I was following.

At the end I did delete those blogs that

ended up not appealing to me or that

stopped blogging before the Challenge

had ended.  

Q= Did I enjoy the Challenge?

A= I sure did! I enjoyed last years Challenge 

which is why I participated this year. 

I think though that I'd like to read more blogs,

 but not am sure how I could do that without 

spending more time online...and I am not willing

to do that. I do have a busy life!

Here are a few suggestions for my fellow bloggers:

1. I am not interested in "commercial" blogs.

If you are selling/advertising etc I am not

going to read your blog. I am not 

talking about books that bloggers are 

writing, but rather hard goods that

are being sold. When I go on sites like that

I make note of the site name and will

not access that site again. I also do not

need that vendor to use my email for

commercial use. I mark those as spam.

2. If someone makes a comment on your 

blog, try to take the time to visit them and

leave a comment. It's a two way street

and also it's good manners. A large part

of blogging for me is the community

 one builds by personally interacting with

other bloggers. I have learned so much about 

life in other places. What's the point otherwise?

I myself do not like blogging in a vacuum.

Last but certainly not least- blue ribbons to 

all our hosts who worked so hard to bring

us such a great A-Z 2014 Challenge.

Thanks to all of you!

Poetry Jam! October 22, 2013 Reflecting

Reflecting

When much younger I would stare

Into mirrors-finding flaws-

Wondering how others really saw me

Now as I  get ready for each new day 

I see my family in my face:

My mother, my children-even my siblings...

Not worrying about how others see me

Finally comfortable in my skin

Stop to Reflect by Eric Alder

Stop and reflect
Past words and actions never cease
To reverberate

No matter where I look
Reflecting me

Jingles Poetry Potluck

Week 15 theme: reflections, interpretations, and musings.

Reflecting upon this past year

Over mistakes made and

Good deeds gone well

Interpreting words spoken

Were they cruel or just the truth

Musing over mistakes, deeds and words

I realize it's up to me

To improve or ignore

Once again we drive to California

Fleeing the cold and rainy Oregon weather
we headed south to sunny California-to find new
winerys, see old friends and find new places...

Such as this winery...............



...........and this one............
