True to myself ...hmmm !!! How much effort can it

be ? ? ? ?
It's been a few months since I first joined this site, and I must admit that I have made a few people here whom I would be happy calling friend . . . both male and female.
Since I first joined, I jumped in with the blogs, got to know different peoples' styles, and decided that I wanted to be part of this blogging community. I know that I have a pretty crazy sense of humor which s not everybody's cup of tea, but my decision was to be true to myself, and when I made that decision I also made the decision not to be what others thought I should be. Being true to myself means that I can allow any aspect of my life, to take centre stage, when the need or the desire arises.
How much I reveal,of course always remains my prerogative.
Of course, knowing why I am here has also helped . . . it means that when I blog, I remain stress free about attaining a goal. I know that while it would be good to have a partner in my life, it can NOT be my sole reason for doing anything in my life. Life goes on, irrespective of what my personal relationship status is.
I have never had a problem with that in the past and I don't have one with it now.

Blogging has been interesting, a new experience for me. Initially, I found myself quite hooked on the whole process, and it was fun, except that it was not very healthy, in that it consumed almost ALL my free time. More recently, I have learned to find its proper niche in my life. I like that spot it has claimed. A social outlet, to a life which can sometimes become overwhelmingly busy. However, it is NOT meant to replace my social interaction with people in my real sphere of influence.

Life is meant to be lived. . . are you ready to live . . . . or are you happy to merely exist . . . .conversing cheers bouquet

Coffee hug
great to have you here! Great blog and as usual, thought - provoking but very kind to read and comment as well rose rose rose
Coffee, I am sure we all faced the same like you. We all were hooked in the beginning and after shorter-longer time we found healthy approach to blogging in virtual world and socializing in real life as well.
Being here is for me a way of relax, sometimes way of watching
people´s behaviour and reactions... or just chit-chat with girls and guys about ... nothing...
Coffee, I really like you being here! heart beating teddybear bouquet

Aswina my friendbouquet

YOu know that the feeling is mutual. Like I said, friends worth havinghug

It's always good to chat to you and get your views on issues.wine
Baltus, that sounds like such a healthy approach. It is so good to hear you feeling so optimistichug teddybear
Swiss, I know where you are coming from. Time seems to be a luxury commodity for most of us. Having the blogs available to us does provide a great means of communication, and making new friends.
Scruffie, that is true, I have always found that to be the easiest way to do things. That way I don't have to remember who I was the last time I spoke to someone. grin Less strain on my multiple personalitylaugh rolling on the floor laughing
your sense of humour is exactly what I adore laugh I remember many times to have great fun with you here! cheers
I try to squize in a little time to pop over here at blogs now and then. Usually im so busy with work, exercise, meeting with friends and family not to mention my hobbies. But its good to know that when i have that little break inbetween then there is always someone to say hello to here. There seems to actually be people here all the time, i guess its becouse ppl come here from different timezones or sth.
And thet is nice like for instance when u can't sleep or wake up in the middle of the night or have 5min in the lunch or maybe 10min after you have picked up kids form school and before starting making dinner and similar small timepockets like that.

Morgwave I think you and I have the same general habit of popping in whenever we have a few minutes to spare. It just feels like the minutes are becoming shorter and shorter and far less than they used to be, isn't it???grin conversing bouquet

Hey Morg, where's the unpside down cat . . . I missed it. . . who hung him up?doh
Virgo, that is so true, no matter how we try to portray ourselves as an alter ego, at the end of the day, inside we are all the same. The sooner we embrace ourselves, the sooner we can move on to embrace others.conversing
Jim, Healthy balance . . . sometimes it is easier said than done.
Sometimes I find it only comes after a prodding, a wake-up call. It's too easy sometimes to just let things slide.cheers
Summer . . . Love your picthumbs up
That seems to work for me . . it's normally less work involved rather than trying be be weho we are not.uh oh bouquet
