Choosing

as i was doing some light digital "visiting" this a.m. i noticed that there are more than a few of us who are feeling various degrees of malaise. i myself have been haunted by the ghosts of depression just lately . . . i'm glad that i haven't been chased by the all out MONSTER that it can be but am definately feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, listless, tired, etc . . . etc . . . etc.

so in an effort to inject some sunshine into my own life i took some time to "build" a little pick-me-up photographic moment. i hope it helps put the "happy" back in your heart too~!!~even if only for a brief moment.

by the way: i may be breaching some blog etiquette by not contacting all of my blog contacts/friends on a daily or even a weekly basis . . . i really don't know as i'm new to all of this, but i guess you should all know that i do my best to visit you as often as i can and sometimes it works out to a lot but usually i barely keep my head above the proverbial water. so don't be offended by what might appear to be a lack of interest on my part because it's anything but that~!!~ and please do feel free to gently and honestly advise me on what i should and should not be doing better with my little slice of the internet pie. i am so always open to suggestions~!~

i would also appreciate whatever enlightenment anyone might be able to give me regarding comments that link back to a blog that is "empty" of anything except a website button/option/directional . . . recently i had a comment left that was of this nature. the comment was nice enough but upon linking back to the blog and hitting the next link to the website i just had a feeling that it was not going to be good (a bit like Alice in Wonderland with an "eat me or drink me" mysteriously posted about). low and behold i found myself facing some pornographic options that i did not happen to be in the mood for. i felt stupid because i had actually re-commented back to this person already and felt that i had to go back into my comments and do some deleting in order to protect my readers from becoming victims as well. now, if i somehow misunderstood this person's intentions, i am sorry. but i'm pretty sure that i didn't and was wondering if this sort of thing happened a lot in blogworld . . . again, any advice is welcome as i'm just a babe in these new woods and could really use it~!!~
