Say what?

Are you sitting?

Some people have no idea what a blog is, and it doesn’t matter to them at all.

Say what?

Blogging (reading and writing) has become such a part of my life that I just can’t comprehend how it isn’t a daily part of some peoples life.  I love to skip around the world in five minutes, seeing that it is sunny is America, that autumn is coming in England, that the tulips are blooming somewhere else, that someone made apple crumble with apples from their own tree, and that someone else just fell over in the street and managed to not spill a drop of their coffee.

It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that people who are active, intelligent and linked into the community may have no idea what or blog is, or if they know, they are just not interested in having one, or reading one, or engaging in a broader community of bloggers.

Not interested?  How is this possible?

My favourites are not the ones that send you off shopping or wanting to buy another thing of any kind.

My favourites are the ones that make you look at things a little differently, that broaden your expectations of what is possible in life, that keep you looking at what is around you in a different way.

Bloggers that share moments of their lives and inspire something in their readers. Bloggers that are honest about the bad times as well.  Bloggers that are positive about daily challenges and keep their heads in a crisis.  Bloggers that are regular posters.

It’s an indie thing I think.  It’s marvellous.  It’s a miracle that we can all find like-minded people and engage with them even though they are in another country and their interests may be obscure and left of centre.

And sometimes inspirationally odd.

Reading blogs can make your life so much richer, more stylish, more simple, more complex, more aware, more confident, more entertaining.  More.  What a marvellous diversion.

If only the chores would do themselves…
