Periodic reflective peas

Ever known this guy?
Yeah, me too.

I've been reflecting lately.

I read some articles on Blogging and what should be in blogs and what shouldn't. I read articles in the Ensign and listened to talks by M. Russell Ballard discussing elements of blogging and other "internetland" communication. From all the information I've read I've discovered a few things.

They are:
  1. It looks like I'm doing a lot of things wrong. (You know what they are, I don't have to point them out) By wrong, I mean things ranging from plagiarism to security issues (giving out names and addresses, hair color, maiden names)
  2. There are many other blogs that I admire and look up to, if you will.
  3. My blog is kind of reflection of my own life (unfortunately).
While these things are mostly negative that I've explained, I've come to realize that:
  • if you want a sweet loving blog, go here.
  • if you want good recipes and country living, go here.
  • if you want good writing, humor and Boise landscapes, go here.
  • if want consistent sweetness, go here.
  • if you want to know more about the Wood River valley and the Hope's, go here.
  • if want flat out pure virtuous inspiration, go here.
On the other hand, if want flat out pure ludicrous, scratch your head, premeditated and attempted humor, go to: The Daily Item. To which I say:

"Sorry folks, this is all I've got."

I can't be the the things I admire in all of the other blogs that I've posted above. I have made attempts, but to no avail. After all my trying I end up coming right back to the same old schtick (like this: go here!). See what I mean.

But I take comfort in knowing that this planet needs, all types (you have no idea how many times I've been told that) and I fit the bill for that description.

Rifle markings. It sounds like you and I suffer from the same phobias. I think I can relate to what you're feeling. With that said, I LOVE your blog. Don't change it. I wish you had time to blog every single day because I look forward to seeing your blog everyday. It's the truth. Keep doing your thing.

Also, thank you for the nice words about my blog. I'll quote you on that.

I'm gonna echo exactly what both Jess and Jerm said! I love your blog! It was actually the inspiration in starting my own blog. I thought that if I could do have as good as you then my blog would be great!

Please keep the post coming, they always brighten my day!
