Blog is defined as a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.

When I read this definition it kind of sounds self serving. And in some respect, for many of us when we began to blog, that was our original thought. Most of us enjoyed the journaling aspect to journal family events or funny occurrences along the way. What many of us bloggers, who have been blogging for some time, found out by accident is that it is not about us. Yes we blog to journal our family events, but there is so much more.

I am speaking only for myself, but I think others may agree.

Our heart strings become tied to others we may never meet face to face this side of heaven.

There are ones we are honored to be able to pray for. There are others who have become close friends. Some bloggers you go to for humor, some you go to for a serious thought, some for updated world events, and others just to check in and say hi “I’m thinking about you.” Whatever the purpose, they all become part of your life. And those of you who think online blogger friendship is fake, well I share my opinion on that with this post Are They Real or Are They Fake.

This award Janeen gave me got me thinking about all the different bloggers I visit. Each blogger is very different, each offering their own view on life, many I visit have different views then what I have, but this is what I love about the blogging community.  Or maybe it is just my love of news and being in everyone’s business.  Whatever the case, I love blogging, I love writing, but more importantly I love all the people I am able to learn from and connect with.

And Janeen is one of these people.  Thank you so much for this award I will display it on my About Page proudly =)

Also if you link to me on your blog let me know.  I have added a section of “Reading Suggestions” every time my paged is refreshed it displays 6 new blogs (cycling through the list).  So if you link to me I will add you to the “Reading Suggestions” list.

Have a great Monday!
