Hello All
I got asked the other day why didn't I blog more. My response was I do blog don't I? With all of the status updates on myspace & facebook joined together with all of the post on twitter everyday I blog more then I ever have.
The blogs now may be 140 characters or less but they are still blogs. I know they are only small snapshots of what we are up to each day but put together I think they are more like a timeline of our day.
I am afraid our lives are so much on the go now it's hard to find time to actually sit down at a computer and write a blog. Most updates come from handy iphone apps. This only serves to reconfirm how busy we are.
Maybe this is the future of blogging. More mobile blogs more often just in a shorter form.
Technology has given us thorough it's many advancements the ability to talk to each other at anytime from anywhere in the world. This has also enabled us to live even busier lives.
For all of the communicating we do with each other how much do we really communicate?
I admit I love technology and all of the advancements, but I'm just starting to wonder what effect they are having on my life and my relationships with others.
Maybe this is the future and there's no reversing it. Maybe not. Until then I'll keep blogging and communicating the best I can. All that I can. As often as I can

Wow.....that was more than 140 characters! lol Just kidding:) I like this blog! Something you said struck a nerve with me......how you wonder what effect all of this has on your relationship with others....I don't know exactly what that means for you.....but it definitely effects my life directly! I don't think I wanted to admit to that until now.....at least not out loud! It's not all bad though.....it has allowed me to meet people from all over the world that I would never have met in my lifetime.....amazing people that I care for very much now! People that I worry about every day and pray for every night....that's the good part......the bad part is I find myself slipping farther and farther away from life as I know it and I want a completely different life now.....I wonder if I will ever be completely happy with my life again because I've had a whole new world open up to me and now I stay confused all the time about everything!!! And I want to meet all of these awesome people I have met online...is that being realistic? I don't know! I even find myself arranging my schedule so that I don't miss talking to certain people who are online at certain times.....or is all this just an answer to a life I was already miserable in before I met all of these people??? I do believe we meet everybody for a reason.....so I'm going to hang onto that for now! Because strangers are only friends we haven't met yet! :) I think technology does alot more good than bad.....and you have a better chance of finding your true soul mate online than you do at Walmart or anywhere else for that matter......people don't really get to know each other just passing on the streets like they do online.....of course all of this is just my opinion.....you may completely disagree! lol You do have to watch out for the weirdo's though.....:D And I can tell you something real too......I met my husband when I was 14 years old, have known him for more than half my life now and I can't wait to get completely away from him....meeting him in person instead of online has made no difference in my life at all!!! I think technology rocks!!! I just need to use a little more control:D I think you do great keeping everyone up to date on what you guys are doing!!! Keep rockin! XO, T
