We have opinions and ideas, so why not share them - or at the very least, track them for ourselves.<br />For some, a blog is nothing more than a diary that has been made public, or it might be a place to vent frustrations and gain perspective over the things in our lives that seem out of control. It might be a place to voice the same things that we say out loud everyday - the things that no one seems willing to hear. For others, it's a way to stay in touch with family and friends (because no matter how much we might try, sometimes our lives become too busy to allow for us to make those much needed phone calls or visits). * For me, it's all three - and as an added bonus (with as many moves as Mike and I have made in the last decade) it's also become a place to meet new friends - the kind that I can take with me, no matter how far away I move.<br /><br />2) There is only so much time in the day. I like to know that my friends and family are happy - to hear or read about the events that are taking place in their lives, but sometimes it's just not possible to leave a comment for everyone and sometimes... there is simply nothing worth being said. You are right, communication should go both ways, however, I would prefer that someone communicate with me when they have something sincere to say, rather than just leaving pointless messages because they feel like they have to say 'something'.<br /><br />3) It's that individual's space to say whatever they feel needs saying. Sometimes it's the only place a person can go to really get it all out of their system (or in some cases, people just have no idea how to express themselves, so they run on and on in circles... like me ;). You can go along for the ride, or you can click on another page and entertain yourself elsewhere - that's the beauty of blogging! <br /><br />Hmm... I don't think beginners get marks taken off for not reaching the word minimum, but you might want to work on that for future posts. ;)Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443849225668411044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694555661685589377.post-13858631438396548482009-07-27T17:05:11.771-07:002009-07-27T17:05:11.771-07:00Thanks for the wise insights, blogging expert Mega...Thanks for the wise insights, blogging expert Megan. My follow up is as follows.<br />1) I want to meet him.<br />2) That doesn't count; it's only a 1/2 step higher than the people who don't comment at all. Maybe 1/3 of a step higher.<br />3) See #2. :)<br /><br />But seriously, thanks.Miranda Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620279143881962594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694555661685589377.post-64636065512433208192009-07-27T12:58:17.881-07:002009-07-27T12:58:17.881-07:001) Mr. Blog.
