I used to think that the concept of a blog was simply an online diary. Now, a diary is something which you write down your secret thoughts and observations in on a day-to-day basis for possible publication in the future, but a blog is quite different, for you are writing down your thoughts and observations for immediate publication.
One blog that I particularly enjoy is written by Lindsey in the USA. After a while, as you read through someone's daily blog, you get a feeling of knowing them a little, even though you have never met them (and probably never will!!!). Yet the day-to-day thoughts that are shared allow you an insight not only into someone else's family and social life, but also into the mind of the person as well. Whatever the reason is though, it's a good way to spend a few moments of your day!
Welsh poet William Henry Davies in his poem Leisure asked What is this life, full of care, we have no time to stop and stare. Well, reading a blog for a few moments does allow you to indulge in 'stopping and staring' and simply watching the world go by. And it's a GOOD FEELING! Of course you won't always like what you find, but then on every journey the view is constantly changing, and you won't always be looking at your favourite view. If you are a real country person then the smoke-stacks of an industrial town will often depress you, yet if you are a city person you may remark of the countryside --- as my son once did --- "What's to see? All you can see is bits of green. It's so-oooooooo boring, Dad!"
Well, I hope that you like the changing scenery on my journey as you share it with me for a mile or two, and that you don't find it boring!
