So where have I been, you wonder? :-) I know, I know. It's been a while. Lots of things got in the way and I'm slowly catching my breath on the whirlwind it's been. The demands of my family, and keeping myself in check got the best of me. And, I don't believe posting to a blog should be for the sake of posting.
But, I can also say the environment around me has played huge part in my motivation. Which, I know can seem like it's all in a person's head when you hear all the press, but seriously! Gallup says it's possible... And then stories like this one AND this one don't help it any.
Hard times to live in -- but times that we must plug through. I know that many people have felt the sting in some fashion, and it's even come close to home... However, I find myself saying a quiet prayer for those carrying the difficult burdens of now, and silently waiting for the day when things are a little lighter in the atmosphere again.
While our economy is on the decline and motivations drop, I've found a strange solace in Twitter, once unknown, has soared in popularity and great news fodder. And, it's amazing what I'm finding on here. People talking about anything -- and in quick and to the point ways, when the urge strikes them! Small, but simple and practical idea. A room to sound off and in real time. AND you can do it from anywhere. Doesn't get much better than that.
Here's the truth: Twitter is on a great upward trend and may continue to do so. And admittedly, I was a little thrown. Human thought, down to 140 characters? A post? That could make chatty people like me nervous...
But there's a dynamic about it -- like text messages, you're forced to get to the post and provide bite-sized digestible pieces of news. You know what? It's actually quite possible to do.
So if you're looking for quick real time conversation about anything, that may be a good place to do it. :-) There are a lot of voices out there. And, you're not as alone as you think.
Who knows? Maybe I'll see you on there!
