Blogging

When I signed up to do a blog, I wasn’t sure it was the thing for me.  After all, one hears much about what is wrong with the Internet.  Blogging, while not usually pornographic or otherwise offensive of societal sensibilities (although there are those blogs that are all of that, and more), is sometimes lumped in with all of the other that is indecent about the web.
But I took the leap, and even from time to time click on “next blog” in the upper right corner of my page to see what random blog will pop up.  Most are of no interest to me.  Some are sales pitches.  Some are in a language other than English.  A very few are downright nasty.  Many talk of family, hobbies, friends, or other interests.
I have three blogs in my favorites right now that I have found interesting in one way or another.  One is http://lindaruthswriting.blogspot.com/ and is written by someone from Kansas who is a writer.  She has posted several of her writings on the blog, and they are pretty good, if I may say.
Another one is by a woman who is in chaplaincy training.  She’s had to take time off to deal with her husband’s illness.  Her blog is at http://renitabutler.typepad.com/
A third one is a woman who is going through breast cancer, stage III.  She lives in the Pacific Northwest.  I think you will appreciate her insights at http://www.highiqworld.com/mensagrrl/
And then there’s my dear sister, going through school psychologist training.  She is posting (somewhat irregularly, I might add) at http://psychadventures.blogspot.com/
Take some time.  Look at some blogs.  If you like what you see, go back from time to time.  Comment on them as well.  Have fun.

OK, so I'm a little late, but thanks for mentioning my writing blog. I don't add new stuff to it very often, but it's there to share some of my writing. Thanks.
