New life for an old blog?

Life changes. Things happen unexpectedly ... or don't happen the way you want them. Change brings about change.

So it goes with this blog. Changes in my life have meant that my original intentions for my first blog have been, on the most part, abandoned. In my writing pursuit I moved to another blogging site, one where I have more compatibility. But, I have not forgotten this one entirely, nor have I wanted to delete it. My hope is that I can revive it, if only in part. 

Actually, this is where my enjoyment of blogging began. This is where I discovered that I have something to say, to share, if only occasionally. Not that many people have noticed me here, but that's okay, I started in Blogspot and for that I am thankful.

I have often thought that I would like to write more from my faith, perhaps that is what I will do here. Or perhaps I will write about a variety of things ... which is pretty much what I was doing before. Although, when I timidly began my venture into the blogging world, this blog was as an aside or an aid to the business I was setting up, but which now has been set aside by necessity. Once again I was reminded that one cannot do everything. But, it could be that I can bring about new life for this old blog, which could be fun.

Now I must get back to work on a story I am writing .. a rough draft of a manuscript so that I can say I got one done this month for the writing challenge I have taken on.

I hope you will let me know you have read this.

Thanks for reading, and .. Blessings on your day! :)

to 'tweet' or not to 'tweet'?

October already! .. and with this month comes Canadian Thanksgiving in one week's time. I will celebrate with family by gathering together on Sunday for a 'feast'.  More about that in a later post.

Tonight I am thinking about communication. Time was, a few years ago, that it was my regular practice to chat in online chat rooms where I met a lot of people.  All sorts of people. I haven't done that for some time and I miss it.  I do have a few friends I 'Yahoo' with periodically, and occasionally I use MSN, but I have no chat room to visit.  No place to call 'home' on the Internet.  It is nice having this blog which has its own dynamic, but it's not a chat room where I can 'hang out' and meet a few people at a time to talk and share, or just listen and enjoy others' company.

So, this week I am thinking about Twitter. What about it? Have you tried it?  And what do you think of it -- pros and cons?  I know it is not a chat room, but ... what can you tell me of your experience with it?

As I said in an earlier post, I chose to start a blog here rather than to use Facebook.  I think they (FB) are working on their privacy issues now, though.

What I would like is to find a safe, friendly, chatty place - but not overly populated.  :)  Just a semi-quiet and respectful chat room.  Any ideas?  Or, is that too hard to find these days? 

My preference is Christian rooms or even craft rooms, or quilting rooms.  Know of any good ones to try?

Please let me know.

Thanks for reading, and ... Blessings on your day.  :)

Welcome to my BLOG! Since I am just learning about blogging, I will not say much this time except that as I figure out more about this I will post more. I hope you will make a return visit. :)
