Blogging to Blog

Okay so I was going to post a photo blog, but for whatever reasons blogger doesn't want to cooperate so I am switching gears. I am going to blog about the unexpected I guess.

The Internet is a marvelous thing. You have pictures, videos and all sorts of things quite literally at your finger tips. Social networking sites bring things into full circle I realized this evening. I was reading the status of a friend (whom I thought of more of as an acquaintance in high school - and realized that she really was more of a friend than I realized at the time) and I know that had this been eleven years ago, I might have passed it by with out comment. Being removed from where we all where eleven years ago gives me greater perspective and pause. This was a person I may have smiled to and said "hi" to and moved on. I guess thanks to my son, I have re-evaluated how and why I do things. My goal is to be an example I can be proud of one that my son will be proud of when he is older.

Another thing I caught myself doing is searching for people I knew "back then" that I haven't talked to or seen in forever. It's funny, if you've found yourself doing the same thing you may have done what I did and searched for a former flame. I like to think that every relationship teaches you something about yourself (and others). Every relationship I had before the most important one (the one that I can't live with out and wouldn't want to) brought me to where I am. The "one" I thought I would end up with in high school seems to have a very successful business and a happy family. So in other words: he's made it in this world. And looking back at the things I learned from him - I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. I just had to laugh at myself actually searching for him. (I'm still giggling actually at the silliness of it all).

I feel like this blog post is all rambling - but then again... isn't that some of the most interesting conversations - the one that jump from one thing to another? ;) Have fun rambling with the one you love!
