About
I used to think blogging, Tweeting, Face-booking and other forms for social media were just a technological means to egocentric expression. However…
After my husband Bill and I went through the humbling experience at age 60-plus of being laid off, deemed unemployable, losing our home, declaring bankruptcy and moving from our dream home in Boise, Idaho to live with my mother in Sun City, Arizona, I have a new appreciation for this wonderful, mind-boggling medium.
Yes, it can be a means for egocentric expression (I mean really, who cares what you had for breakfast or the consistency of your daily dump – besides my mother, that is), but it’s also an amazing, cathartic release of frustration and a way to connect with others and share common experiences so you don’t feel so alone. And maybe, most importantly, it’s a way to remind me that God has a sense of humor and so should I.

OMG – This is great!
G’Day! I’ve nominated you for Blog Special Award (It’s really something “special” :] ), since I find your blog different from many others and very amazing. You can find out more information about it on my page: http://justdan93.wordpress.com/a/.
Thanks!
Thanks Dan for the Sunshine Award nomination. I’m honored, truly.
Wow. Besides what you’ve been through, your Mom sounds like a real character! 🙂 I’m guessing she’s anti-internet, “screen” or anything related? At least my mom is – ha. Well, it’s a learning curve, to be sure. I kind of felt the same way until I found some great folks out there. They really keep you going. 🙂
She’s funny about technology. Her PC was given to her great grand daughter (to use as a toy, it was so old) several years ago. About all she did with it was make greeting cards and mess up email. She’s got some “interesting” points of view and our talks are, more often than not, pretty funny.
I am very sorry for all you have been through….God will strengthen you and your family..
Thank you Michael. As much as our world seemed to fall apart, I never blamed God. I know and you know he never gives us more than we can handle. And this has actually made me and Bill much stronger. Take care and thank you for reading my blog.
I really like your attitude. Please use this post of mine as a soothing balm for you and your family http://justmikemon.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/storms-of-life-vs-man-who-wins/ God bless you 🙂
