Wow...I just noticed that many members I 'grew up' with on ActiveRain are barely posting here anymore. Well, I remember them. Sarah Cooper must be busy but I remember this post Maybe It's Not So Ordinary After All ... where we spoke on the phone and she went outside .... I heard a train whistle blowing and she wrote a post and included a whistle blower!
"It's the People Under the Words That Matter" in which she chose to use a comment of mine and make it into a thoughtful and well thought out post.
Sarah says, "And the really cool thing about writing as yourself, as opposed to trying so hard that you're really being someone else, is that people will TALK to you. Because like Sally said, it's the people under the words that matter." And then there was her: We Came Here for Content, We Stayed for the People where she says, "You came here for content, you stayed because of us."
And then there was the It's a Tiny Little World Out There The Japanese culture...worlds apart. That was fun...we both wrote something. My ancestry and her exchange student.
I think back to all the learning lessons I have gone through along the way and not really knowing what to expect with people tapping away at their keyboard and doing their online chatter. I know now. Some are not always as they seem. Some are real. Some are REALLY Real. Some may play symantics with words but sometimes it's not so hard to figure out. Some connect. Some network. Some are professional while some are I don't know what.
Blogging is a trip. Oh....the games people play.
Oh, the ones that went away.
Sarah's latest post will give you insight into where she's at: In Case You Haven't Seen Me ...
I was thinking about her today.
