With today's post of this blog I checked the odometer for posts written and I somehow have reached the
600th blog written.
Amazing how time flies when you are having fun. I humorously say I want to trade in the points amassed for S&H green stamps or equivalent to at least get a new toaster or something.
So I pondered what could I post besides just some humor, inspirational thoughts or a photo of my backyard fence? What about thoughts that had meaning for the masses. With my listening heart to the world surely I could come up with something that was universal in feeling and expression.
As I go out on the road beyond number "600" here's what the old brain came up with for today.
First off, let me say one thing I have learned in all this blogging, is I am just as clueless in figuring out the way the world works as the next guy or gal here. It may "appear" that I have many answers. But I have that laundry basket on my head with you as we walk back and forth in the room banging into the walls.
I may have a grasp of analogies and visual images to help illustrate a point, but you would be amazed each day as I write my "silly scribbles" down as a platform for discussion. What I really am interested in my journey is what YOU have to say. Your comments I treasure. Why?
Because believe it or not I want to learn from you. I do learn from you. I sift through all the comments in my mind and am staggeringly amazed with the profound thoughts you give back to me.
A second point to be made to you, is it is ok to be YOU. All you, all the time. I will harp on that point till it is driven into your core. Your quirkiness, your failings, your transparent honesty all mean the world to all of us. I enjoy laughing with you, crying with you, seeing your ups and downs, and I get to comment back to you as well.
Finally, I think we all need to make a difference in all we do. Blogging with writing and reading on Active Rain is a part of what I consider making a difference. We need to extend that difference maker ability to all areas of our life.
A phrase I picked up from one of the Realtors in my office was
"My life and my day should end with an exclamation point and not a question mark."
Know what you are doing. Strive to make an impact. Look back on your day and your year. See the grandness of what you have accomplished. Or work towards that end. Keep getting better over time. Bounce your ideas of what is working or not working with those you trust.
Did I do good for today?
Be that Exclamation Point in the World.
