Sometimes things start as one thing and become something else. In 2009 I started a Blog just as a simple way to share some of my experiences with family and friends. Probably just the notion to try to keep in touch while we travel to different parts of the country, usually away from family and most friends. Just something to do with some spare time, usually early in the morning when I’m the only one awake. Quiet time and a clear head uncluttered by the days events. Fresh day and fresh thoughts. Usually little tid-bits stories with few photos… ya know… short and sweet. Usually never too serious, rarely political (no need to stir the pot… politics… well… none of it is worth a salt)… just little shorts stories about something in life that made me smile or gave me a warm feeling inside. Kiddingly I thought the only one to read my blog, at least on a regular basis or sometime later, would be me… sometime later kinda like a scrapbook where I could look back and relive fond memories of family, friends, people, and places. Facebook, and the like, are for the moment, and pretty much within hours are gone forever, and I wanted something more lasting and available… all of it, anytime that myself or anyone else would like to read it. I even thought that it would be nice for the grand girls to someday, being older, more aware, and hopefully wanting a little more insight into my life, would be able to look back in it and see some of the real me, and have more then just fading memories. So… that’s how it started… pretty simple.
While recently looking at the “stats” of my blog… I seem to have a bit of a following that extends beyond family and friends… So I “Thank You” for you attention and hope that something that I say might bring a smile to your face or spark a memory of something you did, or a place you visited that made you happy. I guess the “world wide web” really gives everyone access to others around the world separated by not only distance but by language. Not that anything I write will ever get “hits” in the millions or make me world famous… but it does warm the heart that something that I write touches others, and also reaches people of don’t know…. and that’s my couple moments of near-fame.
So “Thanks” for reading. If you have a blog… you are welcome to send me the address, or would like to communicate, my blog e-mail address is RvCampingToday@hotmail.com
Here’s a sample of recent blog activity… like I say… my little bit of near-fame.
