TWO years!

Last week was my two year anniversary for blogging. Wow – time has sure flown. It’s funny, I actually stumbled upon this hobby after meeting someone through work and was immediately hooked. I have enhanced my technical skills and learned so much in this big, cyber world. When I look back at what has happened over the past two years, I’m somewhat amazed and VERY thankful. My little statement ‘something is always happening on our little Corner of the world’ is actually true, ha!

Here’s some of the things I have loved –

I truly enjoy writing.
I like to share my thoughts (good, bad, ugly)
I have made SO many friends. Some that I will probably never meet in person.
I have taken more pictures (daily) that have true meaning and can tell stories.
I have come to enjoy logging memories and will one day be able to scrapbook each.
I have learned the ‘ins and outs’ of digital scrapbooking.
I have been brutally honest at times and there have been times when tears flowed as my fingers hit the keyboard.
I have learned that there is a blog for just about everything!

There have been challenging times though –

Should I share this?
What should I really say about a certain topic?
How can I keep it interesting?
What do my readers really want to hear/read?

All in all though, I have never meant to make anyone mad or hurt any feelings. More than once I have said (outloud) “stay off my blog if you don’t what to know something” and I really meant it.

But I have to admit that it’s one of the most rewarding, fun, cheap hobbies I have ever found and I definitely plan to keep it up!

Now….last week was also my two year anniversary for Facebook. Hmmm that’s a whole different topic and one that I’m not so thrilled about.

Here’s some things I love about Facebook:

I have reconnected with friends from school and co-workers from the past.
I actually attended my first class reunion after 30 years!
I am kept in the loop with special deals for Mary Kay, Pampered Chef and Tastefully Simple.
I have joined groups like Disney and country artist’s fan clubs.
I have gotten involved in many photography forums.
I can keep up with family events and happenings in all parts of the United States without even picking up the phone.

Now, what’s there not to like? Shew –

All the drama!
People intentionally being mean to others by posting hurtful comments!
People talking in what I call ‘riddles’….requiring a guidebook to understand what they are saying and whether or not it has ANYTHING to do with me!
People requesting me as a ‘friend’ just to get my ‘scoop’!

So….I guess you can say “I’m on the fence” –
