Today I went to see my friend and counselor, Susan. The town is working on the bridge off of Elm Street in St.Johnsbury so Bill, my ride, had to take the longer way around to get to my destination.
Which turned out okay for it gave him more time to dwell on his tale of woe about his girlfriend of 2 1/2 years. I didn't and don't mind listening and sometimes that's all a person needs.
So I get there and this cancerous old man is being a little bitchy about having to fill out paperwork and the little receptionist must of been having a hard morning for she looked a little sad when I came to her window.
So I made a face and rolled my eyes which sent her into peals of laughter. I felt good cheering her up.
Now I have had some trouble getting used to having to stay at home and not interacting like I'm used to with the outside world. It would make me either moody, mad, or sad. I wasn't used to having a problem that I couldn't fix.
Knowing this Susan brought up volunteering which I have done before. I thought that was out of my reach because of my ride situation. But she gave me a ray of hope with an idea. So I have been researching and came up with this.So we will see where this leads us.

Don't you just love thoughts or an idea or thoughts of an idea that just won't go away? For me once it's in there unless I forget it its there for good!
I have been on the net for a long time. Longer then some but not as long as others. Like my husband who is 5 years younger then me has been on computers since they were ungodly huge and bulky.
Anyways I love when a new hobby comes along that shows you the "other side". In this case, the other side of blogging.
It's the comment section awareness. There should be a comment awareness month. Why not? It could make a lot of people happy as long as its nice and helps. No flaming please...or rudeness which reminds me of being careful what you wish for.
For me looking over my posts and seeing a comment perks me right up. So I imagine how someone else would feel as long as no being rude and hiding behind the internet to make someone else feel bad.
So the conclusion to all this rambling is...I'm making more of an effort to comment when a post appeals, moves or inspires me and you know what? It makes me feel good taking a few seconds to make someone else feel good as well.
What do you think about commenting?
