I loved the qu...Absolutely brilliant post, Sharon! I loved the quote at the beginning...thought you had written it at first. Ruth sounds like an awesome writer. As you are as well. It is so TRUE!!!! <br /><br /> The thought that I am leaving something for strangers to read, for future descendants to read, has always meant a great deal to me. I have always wanted my writing to be a legacy, a connection. I am a "paper" person too, and don't like blogs that share writing, particularly online, because to me it is just going to get lost in the ether. I have participated in a couple, but would rather do my writing on paper. As for blogging...it is one of the most frustrating things in the world, as well as one of the most satisfying. But, it is definitely FRUSTRATING! I feel that blogging is a place mostly for photos, though I have to make an exception for you, because I love this writing/reading/reviewing blog of yours! Of course, there's our own book club blog too. But in general, photo blogs are awesome, as long as the people posting the photos are great photographers, travel a lot, or have some fascinating things close to home to share. If some witty, intelligent, wonderful commentary accompanies it, all he better. BUT, there are people who have twenty photos and commentary on each post, and those are hard. I have had my share of "long" posts so I am just as guilty, but I try not to. I love memes, but sometimes you see participation from those who aren't following the theme of the meme (ooh, I am so rhymey today! :-) ) Blogging can be a great deal of fun! But it can also be a burden. You feel guilty of you don't comment on every single post you see, and get back to every single comment made on your own posts. You get "behind" and start stressing out. You are on a roller coaster ride and you can't get off! That part makes blogging less fun. But, I have made some incredible connections through blogging, and for that I am very grateful. I generally really enjoy most of my "blogger friends." And yes, fifty zillion photos of ducks (or, this time of year, there have been a lot of great blue herons, too) gets a little old. I am not getting out to get any photos right now because of the heat, and don't want to post some archival shots. I have a lot of hummingbird shots (those too can get old) and quails, and doves...desert scenery. Almost everyone has seen most of what I have. Don't want to belabor the "facts." Have been in a weird "funk" anyway, in this limbo state of needing to leave AZ and not yet ready to make OR home. I am rambling....:-)<br /><br />Hope you have a great week. I will visit when I can. I am writing a little, but mostly packing. Take care and keep these witty posts coming!

There are many blogs I visit that will never leave a comment for me but that does not stop me from visiting their blog. <br /><br />I have to admit I love ducks, puppies and kitten photos. Bring them on! I am not a writer and I blog mostly to record the birds, animals and scenery I have seen. My blog post will be enjoyed by me and my hubby when we both loose our memories, lol! Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602551492668693459.post-73984051148321483852016-06-09T04:29:54.870-07:002016-06-09T04:29:54.870-07:00What DJan said!

I've really enjoyed the back and forth with you and some other special bloggers.

I hope you are not including ME in that rant. I do try to visit the blogs of those who comment on my blogs, but I also lose interest and stop following them if they don't even acknowledge me at all. I really like ducks, though. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
