I've been reading some interesting blogs lately. I like to see what is running rampant through the minds of people who only exist on the other end of my computer.
Some make me laugh, some make me tilt my head slightly and say,"huh?". Some bring tears to my eyes as I read the pain and hurt that is expressed via this medium. I can feel the pain and know first hand the trials they face. That is empathy. Some of the things I can only imagine and it breaks my heart. That is sympathy.
I like to bore you with stories of my family and the disfunctional abilities of the people I love. I enjoy telling about the various people I see and the things happening in my part of the world. You may never visit here but I want you to know what you are missing.
I love to tell of the things that happen in the hospital where I am a Registered Nurse and over the years never cease to be amazed at the things people will tell you. Some of which I could do without, but it seems important to them to tell someone and I happen to be there. I guess the scrubs, ugly shoes, name badge and stethascope hung around my neck makes me seem safe.
One thing I won't do is try to persuade you to believe like I do when it comes to politics or religion. I will keep those to myself. I will respect you to have your own thoughts and beliefs. Paegan or Protestant, Democrat or Republican...we all are different, we are all the same. We are members of the human race. We were not cookie cutter little robots wandering around like The Stepford Wives. Thank goodness we are all different. That is what makes us special.
Some folks in MyBloggers Town are hurting. Some are needing an outlet for their emotions. There but for the grace of my God...
I promised my blog to be honest. I warned you of being an American by birth and Southern by the grace of God! I will never intentionally say anything to hurt someone else. I may make fun of you (and you know who you are!), but it is all in good spirit...never mean or hateful. Even if my Beloved Bulldawgs from The University Of Georgia happen to allow tennessee to score more points in a football game, I'll still love old Grumpy. When I hear of a storm hitting Florida I think of Bob and hope his diner is surviving. I wonder about little Caylee and if she is safe. I read about people up in the north, out west and across the oceans. I wonder if DaisyMae will get her house built and invite us up for Possom and Grits and a good old fashioned square dance. I get an e-mail from Cindy or Jenn or Mary and it just makes my day!
I blog because therapy is expensive and the doctor I went to only wanted to prescribe drugs that made me not like myself very much. Hell's Bells...this is cheap and I can sit here in my comfy clothes and no make-up.
My "Friends" list grows almost every day. I will click on a name just to see what is shaking in their world. Some of you would be amazed to know your name is there.
This is why I blog. Sometimes serious, sometimes silly, always honest. You will read a point of view from a true Southern Lady who has a heart of gold, tempered with steel from years of going through valleys and shouting from mountain tops.
But for now...I'm headed to the Smoky Mountains for a couple of days for some soul clensing and mind resting. Ya'll leave the light on for me 'cause I'll be back!
Mz Scarlett...hand me that iced sweet tea and no one gets hurt!
