Why and Good-Bye

Why do I blog? Because I like to write. Writing helps me clarify what I am feeling and thinking. It helps me get over rough spots and celebrate learning. I’ve covered a lot of material through this blog and others over time. I have learned a lot, and I hope you have too.

I am going to take a break from blogging for awhile, though. I feel like I don’t have anything new to add and it takes a lot of time to come up with something if it is not right there at the top of my head. I’ll probably be back sooner or later, so keep me in mind.

I am going to take some time to work on my photo scrapbooks and learn Spanish. Spring is here and summer is not too far away. Baseball season opens today (drat! I have to work right through the first game). I love summer and being outdoors. It is my favorite time of year.

Thanks for reading along with me and commenting over the years. I’ve met some neat people through my blog. Bye for now.

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOOD

Thanks to Danielle for this joke! An atheist was walking through the woods."What majestic trees! "What powerful rivers! "What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge toward ...
