Seriously, I did have fun doing these blogs where you can just about write what comes to your mind and voice out your own opinions. True, the subjects were given by Ms. Croker, but I took every assignment as a challenge to the "free spirit" in me. Blogging has opened a new venue for me to write on a given topic as I see it and react to it based on my own personal experiences. I remember the time when I joined a competition ... extemporaneous speaking. I would say that blogging is "extemporaneous writing." I truly enjoyed the experience.
Of the several blogs I have visited, Vincent's blog comes to the fore as the entries were always fun reads. I was so fascinated by his story that I even made him the subject for my profile essay. Everardo's experiences in Iraq have made me appreciate the efforts of our men in uniform who are continuously fighting for our freedom. Adam's (Michalson) blog entries were always filled with passion and his choice of words reveal the voracious reader in him. Yvonne's is special because she is a dear friend, that I happen to work with. The Yosemite scene provided a calmness which I think she experiences in her family life. I can go on and on about the others, but I think I might not have enough space here marvelling at how each blog I visited gave me a different reading experience.
Before I sign off on this blogging experience, I would like to extend my appreciation to all those who wrote comments on my blog entries. Your opinions and reactions have become inspiring and actually made me look forward to reading them (that's why I try to post my blogs early.) Through your words, I felt like I found new friends in cyberspace.
I wish I could continue on keeping this blog alive... maybe, but not on a regular basis. It is just nice that I now have another site (other than Facebook) to share experiences and make new friendships. I can see myself checking-in once in a while, especially when I will have something interesting and exciting to share.
Ms. GC (as in Gaylene Croker), thanks for opening a door to new writing relationships...
