This little poinsettia is about six inches tall and cost seventy-five cents…

Megan @ Beauty In The Attempt is asking the question this week …
“Why Do You Blog?”…
Since I ask myself that question quite frequently,
I thought it would be fun to participate.
Blogging is so time consuming that it boggles my mind--
as to why I love it so… here goes my
answer/excuse/reason etc..
Why Do I Blog?
1. I love it2. I love meeting so many diverse people and seeing into their lives
3. Creativity
4. There is no limit to things that are covered in blogs (I found a blog about a lady beekeeper today…a secret dream of mine…)
5. Blogging has no deadlines…I am in control of any deadlines …
6. It gives me joy when I see the good in so many people (I know not all bloggers are good)
7. Freedom (One I am not willing to give up…this freedom to blog is precious and is to be
cherished and guarded from those who want to control it)
8. My new love of photography (I never had a “real” camera until my sweetie bought me one so I could blog)
9. Growth (learning and growing in my knowledge keeps me young…well at least in my mind)
10. Learning…anything and everything…
Cute pictures of the children, Becky, and of course of the Poinsettias...
ReplyDeleteWhy do I Blog??? To get to come to great blogs like this one; To meet new people, form relationships--that hopefully will last a lifetime; To learn more about other areas of the country and world; To share my happiness and joy with others; etc. etc. etc.
Hugs,
Betsy
They are so cute! :D
ReplyDeleteA very timely post - I started making notes why I blog, etc.. some time ago but never posted.
Maybe one of these bitter cold days I will finish it up and post.
Stay warm!
Yes, they are some real cuties. Just adorable! Yes, blogging takes a LOT of time. It is very addicting, but you do meet many new people from all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThose kids are such cuties, the pictures are precious. I really like seeing your reasons for blogging. I don't have the time and energy to put up as many beautiful blogs as others do, but I love being able to participate when I can, and I love sharing other's lives through their blogs.
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable cutie pies! Oh, those big blue eyes!! And that wonderful poinsetta is perfect! You bring up things about blogging that I didn't even think about. Now I love it even more!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Paula Dean the 2nd! Thanks for droppin' by my doggy bloggy! I'm a Labradoodle living the life on the east coast of Canada. Been blloging since May when I told my owners..'I want to blog!' So here I am with 100 followers. Your reasons for blogging sound so familiar....Freedom and snap snap the camera....oh I must go pose. Take care and enjoy the ride. Don't forget to follow me. ;-)

it gives me goosebumps when I see it. I am a digi scrapper and I love this site.
PS - your photography is outstanding and you had beautiful little models!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is all the reason you gave and more. I don't know what I would do without it anymore. It truly saved my life when my nursing job of 21 years ended in massive budget cuts nearly two years ago!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the reasons why you blog -- I think they could apply to many of us. You definitely have captured some Christmas cuties in this post.
ReplyDeleteOh, Becky, what little darlings! They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you started blogging and I agree with you on all points!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
