I received a Happy Anniversary greeting from WordPress acknowledging my 5 years of blogging with them. Time has a way of flying by, doesn’t it? Now, since it took me off guard, I didn’t have time to write an acceptance speech. But I want to begin by thanking WordPress who made it all possible. Without
Blogging. It’s sort of surreal. If you’ve done it, you know what I’m talking about. Putting thoughts, ideas, challenges, questions, concerns, issues, photos …out there for the world to see or reply, ignore, spam, comment, enjoy, interact, or possibly dismiss.

Reading blogs from friends near and far is a treat I give to myself. Viewing bloggers’ activities, reading about their history, struggles and successes, reading about their newest venture — all of this takes courage to write and post.

When earthquakes and tsunami’s hit –back away from your tv and turn to social media. You’ll get real live people with stories about hope, success, challenges and yes, deaths and tragies.
