I think blogging has kept me looking for the good in my life. I'd become a bit stuck on the difficult aspects of living in France, and now I have every reason to look for the good all around me!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-57254635494712370052011-07-29T08:19:17.084-07:002011-07-29T08:19:17.084-07:00Lorrie you've asked a thought provoking questi...Lorrie you've asked a thought provoking question and I agree with everyone. I think blogging has helped me see the beauty of my surroundings and helped me to try to live and grow where I've been planted in my later years. My heart still yearns for the beauty of other places but I do find myself more content on a daily basis. As Pondside suggested, it's so easy to catch a quick glimpse of another blogger's perspective, surroundings and life. I enjoy these blogging connections.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-9471882720529853892011-07-29T06:31:57.282-07:002011-07-29T06:31:57.282-07:00What a great question and one that I'll have t...What a great question and one that I'll have to give some thought to but off the top of my head I would have to say ditto to everything you mentioned in this post.<br />MaggieMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778709902157945708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-58058360999052067202011-07-29T01:03:18.142-07:002011-07-29T01:03:18.142-07:00Very thought provoking.

I've never been particularly creative, but these bits of writing are my own and what I have to offer up. No matter what the day or week has been like I can turn my attention to something pleasant or funny, beautiful or thought-provoking, and lose myself in it.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-76684359714635170362011-07-28T16:24:28.113-07:002011-07-28T16:24:28.113-07:00hmmm good question...I feel less alone in my view ...hmmm good question...I feel less alone in my view of the world..challenges, depression and creativity.

Whenever we become more aware of beauty, the ebb and flow of living, the joys, sorrows, too, it enriches us. This I know, I am always aiming for specificity and still I find that I miss the mark. Perhaps I don't have the command of English that being focused requires or perhaps it is something more serious, a lack in my character. I so often find myself thinking <i>that is not quite what I meant to say</i>.<br /><br />Again, most excellent question. Linds at Rocking Chair Reflections also answered in a separate post.

Not only has blogging opened my eyes to seeing what is going on in my own life (changed my perspective), I've been able to see glimpses into others lives (and experiences)which has greatly enriched my life and the appreciation I have for the beauty and abundance in this world.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.com
