I have a friend who is author. She writes books, gets them published and sells them.
I had another friend who, before her death, also wrote short stories, article for periodicals and was working on a book.
I am not not a author, nor a writer. I am a recorder of sorts. I record things that happen to me, my family and sometimes, with their permission, friends. I write down my thoughts, though not profound, I warrant them enough so to record them so I can go back and reread them at a later time.
I will warn you right now though, that many of my thoughts are on the Biblical Christian side of things. Take this as you will, leave right now, but don't say you haven't been warned.
This is my first post in four years.
That's right----- four years.
I couldn't believe it myself but it's true. I admit during that time I got caught up in social media; Facebook, Instagram, and others. But they have all lost their luster. Or I should say have lost the connectiveness that I had enjoyed when it first began.
Keeping in touch with friends on a daily, weekly basis, seeing their families was a really wonderful thing. However, along with it came the arguments that seemed to grow worse with each election, and subsequent elected official.
I began to notice that less and less folks were actually posting about their families as horror stories of pictures of children were showing up on child porn sights. Privacy, though lost was grappled for yet again. Unfortunately, it was already lost. If its out there, it's anyone's. I have always seen myself as such an insignificant person in the millions out there that I never really felt threatened, but hearing the horror stories, I began to par back as well.
The social media has become a place for nothing more than opinions being expressed and arguments being started, and really while everyone is shouting, no one is really even listening....
Thus, I am back to the blogging. It's very likely that no one will see it, and that's fine, but I've always preferred talking to myself anyway. ;)
So here is my first post in 4 years and we will hope for many more to follow.
