I hadn’t posted in a little while. We have had a lot of
stuff going and frankly I just didn’t feel the need to take the time in writing
something up. If and when I do post an article or blog post, whatever you want
to call it, I want it to mean something. I don’t consider myself a “writer” and
I don’t think posting a blog makes one a writer but I don’t want to just shovel
stuff out there for the sake of doing it. I think we have enough people doing
that in this world! A former friend of mine many times will post a poster or
“meme” when her creative well runs dry. I think that’s a nice way of providing
content. But for me, I’ll handle this blog as I do life. When I have something
to say, I’ll say it. If I don’t have anything to say, I won’t. I’ve just
written a paragraph on having nothing to say!
Quite a few friends of mine post blogs and each of them
sparkle with their own individuality. I don’t read blogs all the time but when
I do, I read blogs. Stay well read my friends. I think the thing I like most
about reading a friends blog is that I get a good sense of that person. I can
hear their voice as I read the words and I always learn something more about
them. It doesn’t matter what the blog is about. It doesn’t have to be about anything.
It can be like mine, about nothing, and still I end up having the benefit of a
particular insight or having shared in the recollection of a memory or happening
in my friend’s life. That’s a part of being a friend I guess, sharing
experiences. At any rate, it’s nice to know what my friends are thinking, even
if they are thinking a lot about nothing.
One of the greatest shows on television was “Seinfeld”.
Those that know me well know I am a major fan of that show. I especially love
Kramer. Anyway, I loved how the show was about nothing. Something about
nothing. And in reality that nothing always turned out to be something and that
something meant everything at that time. At least until it was over, then it
was nothing but I always felt like “Man that was something”. And I think that’s
what I want to keep doing with this blog. Nothing. There’s no theme here, no real substance,
just a bunch of stuff. I don’t question the taters on the plate, how they got
there and what’s the purpose. They are taters.
Have a Blessed
Day Ya’ll!
Today’s “Did Ya
Know?” Its “World Red Cross Day” The Red Cross originated
in Geneva back in 1863 as a humanitarian effort and it’s now 149 years old.
Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881. Those of us in the
military and having served overseas are well familiar with some aspects of
their work. They also provide relief and aid to a number of peoples worldwide
and today is a day we observe and give thanks for that which they do. Check out
your local chapter today!
