Ponderings
I read a comment recently that made me stop and think. In your live who comes first? Who do you think about or ask when you want to do something? For me if I want to travel or attend something or even go out to dinner the first person I think of are my kids.
I love spending time with my kids and I always check with them first then decide if I want to do it alone, with someone else or not do it at all.
I tend to spend time at home. Unless someone invites me out I am quite content to spend time alone. In the last few months the only person who has invited me to do things with them is pink_lady2 so that is who I have been doing things with. It is not that I don't like my other friends but that no one has approached me. This is not a criticism, I am just stating a fact.
I find sometimes that we forget that there are other ways to do something. Every once in awhile some will say something that make me stop and "see the light". Kes' comment about LJ being just for her was one of them. So now instead of sitting here wondering if my posts are boring or that no one likes me I realize that my posts are for me. If people don't comment it does not involve me. The other comment that clicked in this week was "do you comment on other people's post"? That is a very good point. If I seldom read LJ and don't comment on other people's post why should I expect them to post on mine when I visit once a month or once every 4 months.
I really do miss the bigger picture at times so I love it when things are said that make me think outside my little bubble.
