Or.....ooooo, I don't want to offend anyone etc, etc as opposed to writing freely.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I started this blog thing as a personal outlet to explore my ideas, to experiment with different techniques, to play with words. I love the interaction and feedback, but like you I want to continue to write how I feel, when I feel, and the way I feel...........<BR/><BR/>Our lives are so full of other pressures and responsibilities ....geez.....last thing one needs is another "rock" to throw in the backpack........awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1160268077138120722006-10-07T17:41:00.000-07:002006-10-07T17:41:00.000-07:00We all lapse into....well---whatever. I consider ...We all lapse into....well---whatever. I consider the blogging world a "no worry" zone for me. Its a place to read and relax and to vent and get out what's within--and to write when I feel like it. If one was to constantly think "I have to write" I think that is just a lead-in for boredom. I love reading the blogs and, yours in particular. It brings me back to home in places and people you write about. So, with that.... relax as much as you want as long as I get to read your wonderful stuff!Kathleen Jennettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527996189920596997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1160204705203210582006-10-07T00:05:00.000-07:002006-10-07T00:05:00.000-07:00Those who are self-whipped win the race...

But really, I DO just like it! Also, there's the purpose that my kids n friends know I'm still alive, n show them still have the ability to type!
