I began blogging (urged on by daughter, Jillian, of Jillian's Pages)in May of last year and have met so many people and read their lives, loves, hopes and dreams. Very humbling. So very glad I met you, my friend!<BR/>A very Happy, Healthy New Year to you and your family.<BR/><BR/>Fondly,<BR/>JeanMs.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409193538202128355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860978377787658235.post-37417574456787754202008-12-31T04:51:00.000+02:002008-12-31T04:51:00.000+02:00I'd not thought of blogging as reviving interest a...I'd not thought of blogging as reviving interest and skill in writing - that's another good outcome of it all!<BR/><BR/>I find blogging helps me to be concise (definitely not something I'm known for!!)

I'm so glad we met by chance, and if you will allow me, I want to keep visiting and will remember to if I have permission to add you to my blog roll (my menopausal brain has difficulty remembering addresses otherwise). Is that okay with you? We missed you in Blue Monday!<BR/><BR/>I love the fact that the world is that much closer due to blogging; it's really a lot of fun. And you're right, it encourages people to flex their creative muscles. That's one of the best things about it. That and meeting such creative people.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love your header, and if that's your cottage, I am in LOVE with it! That roof! Be still my magpie heart!

I have met people in South Africa(that would be you), Sweden, Germany, Israel, Japan, England, Scotland, Malaysia, Canada and all over the United States too. It just blows my mind away as I read others blogs about life in their little corner of the world. Thank you for that observation.

I was a teaching assistant/supply teacher and then followed that with mainly office-work where I had no chance to write - just data entry sorts of things.<BR/><BR/>Blogging has given me a tableau for a long-forgotten and buried God-given talent. In expressing that, I have connected with the most amazing people! As well, I seem to have somehow located people of Christian values and moral judgment (in the main) - or people of faith of some sort. There are many "believers" on blogs. It's wonderful!<BR/><BR/>KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860978377787658235.post-81199573875053831002008-12-30T13:10:00.000+02:002008-12-30T13:10:00.000+02:00I began blogging this past June, and I delight in ...I began blogging this past June, and I delight in it.
