Summer 🌞 July issue! Cutting ✂️ back my phone time.
I spend too much time on my phone, as many others do! It's nice to be in touch yet too much of anything isn't a good idea.

I noticed that when I wrote on paper, I got a lot more writing done. I kept journals and wrote poems or story ideas, whatever it was I had a hard copy of it!
I didn't have to go online to find it.

Then the Internet came and it was like magic! I found WDC and other sites and it's still a good thing.

Yet I'm finding that I need a balance of both. As for most of us, I have my good days and not very good ones.
Sometimes we just need someone to listen and hear us. I used to belong to a group that was supportive of that kind of reality.
It was nice to give and receive good input for whoever needed it. Then as most things it wasn't cultivated and people moved on. The most input was a like in my notifications. I appreciated it and at the same time realized it wasn't the same thing. It wasn't a place to share with anyone.

So I left and it didn't matter! No one asked why or noticed.

This whole world is going through chaos and changes. As one lady singer put it " The whole world is having mental health issues" and that's so true.
We hear about mass and minor shootings.
The poverty and weather caused floods and fires.

We have our own personal problems from money or health issues. Conflict with family or others. It's just a human condition. We can minimize it or look at it honestly.

Last post I mentioned making a place for Bloggers to share their blogs.

No one saw or commented.

That's cool there's plenty of places here to share it! So now I'm thinking of other ways to use my skills in writing.

I'm sort of a loner here, I try to find where I fit in and right now, besides the twilight zone forum, there's no place!

I'm not a super reviewer or most of the type of writing here. A few folks are nice and we touch base in blogs and such.

I'm More interested in sharing good links on the Greater good folks, who have been helping people, pet's and the planet since 1999! I came to find out about them in 2004 ( the year I joined here.)
I'm going to work on part 2 of Help is just a click away.
It's been in my portfolio for years and not too many reviewed it.
I don't go out of my way to promote things in my port. Maybe that needs to change...

I'm going back to paper for awhile ( I'll still check in here and not be a total stranger!)

I'm going through some personal stuff in my life and don't have a personal place to share it! Most folks like to have support for their tough days but don't know how to give it.
The post I was writing ( that didn't get saved and I mentioned it last time)
Was I was being really honest about how some people say they care and love you, yet their actions show different.

I've seen this pattern in different people over the years and when you try to have a conversation about it, it usually ends up badly. I've lost contact with people ( friend and family) because they can't be honest with themselves let alone others.

It's sad that ego is more important than love.

So on a happier note 🎵 I'm sharing a link that shows much good in the world.


Of course if anyone has interest in any of what I was talking about let me know!
Email is ok or comment 😁 if not oh well! At least I know where I stand!

What July 4th means to me!

(I'll fix it if it doesn't work! I need to post to see! Hope your week goes well!)
