What is blogging?   Is it a passing phase in the continually changing consciousness of the nation and the world?

OMG did I say that?

Yes.  And it is a question worth asking.  I have been a blogger for almost two years now.  It has been an enjoyable experience.   And one that suits the kind of mind that is. . .

Not too analytical

Not too smart

Not too  goal oriented

But one that enjoys people and enjoys creating moments.

Not necessarily big moments.  But moments that can be enjoyed and appreciated in a photo or a poem or a description of something.

Blogging can drive you batty.  And I have seen some very talented people fall along the way because they couldn’t quite figure out what they were doing.

People arrive and read your post.  Then they leave without any kind of response.  You have no idea how they felt about what you were trying to say.  Maybe they will return.

Maybe they won’t.   Maybe the plugins will work tomorrow.  Or some mysterious bug will mess them up.  Or the company who runs the servers will decide to shut you down for some obscure reason.

How do you get a handle on that?  Well I don’t think that you do get a handle on it.  You just wait to see what happens next.   It’s a lot like life.

And I am here to document that with you.  I enjoy waiting for the next surprise.

A little moment.  And perhaps next time…

A big moment.   You never know.

Todd Mulske has been studying the moon again.  Isn’t this a lovely photo?  He really does a nice job with these.  Thanks Todd for letting me share this with Virginia Breeze readers.

i love waking up feeling the warmth of my husband’s body next to me… the mist disappearing as the sun rises, leaving glistening dew on flower buds… the smell of cut grass and pine trees… the squawking of the seagulls as the sun sets and the water rushes to the shore… and a full moon giving everything a silvery glow…

I love glass. It’s got a million uses. You can use it to make windows – which is like having a piece of wall you can see through, or having x-ray vision. You can put wine in it. Or you can curve it, put it up to your eye and it’ll make you see better.

And it’s made out of sand. Incredible!

I love the smell of coffee and bacon in the morning.  The crinkles at the corners of my hubby’s eyes when he smiles.  The little drawings my daughter leaves me if she thinks I’m upset.  The way I can forgive my son anything when he turns on the charm.  The sound of the wind rustling the leaves in our pecan trees.

Every single moment around my wife, having a good meal and spending the best time of our lives.

The sound of my son’s laugh.

The sound of the ocean.

Knowing when I’ve got a “money” shot.

Knowing that those freshly changed, crisp, clean bed linens won’t stay that way for long.

I’ll stop now…

The smell of moist dirt in the spring..

The smell and sound of  a High School Basketball Game..

I love the feel of cold air hitting my face in the early morning darkness as I go out the door.

Share a simple pleasure that keeps you going down the road.  I will paste it in this post and leave the post up here for awhile if the responses continue to come in.

I love my ultra-comfortable bed and a good nights sleep.
I love the fresh air, the outdoors, the South Downs (in the UK) and walking in the countryside.
Simple things that cost very little

Your blogging friend has been asked to do the photos for a Visitor’s Guide published by the Chamber of Commerce in this area.

How about that?  And it’s a perfect time of year to take some photos of the outdoors with the leaves just starting to seriously turn different colors.

This publication will go out to thousands of people in the area and it will include a bio of the photographer. So I will be taking a lot of photos in the next few weeks. And there should be some photos of Heaven being published soon because that’s where I will be.

This has also got me thinking about publishing a book of poems and photos using Amazon.com. I’m a little late for this Christmas but we will see.

First things first and the Visitors Guide.

I will let you know how it goes.

Also a new edition of Wordpress has come out today.  It offers a couple of security fixes so it’s probably a good idea to “get er done”.   And prior to that . . . Today would be a good day to BACK UP the blog.  In fact I am going to do it right now and suggest you might want to do it too.
