Oh, The Dilemma!

There are many things I try to do in my blog: Be entertaining and have a variety.  I give equal attention to the pictures as well as the content.

I wonder, am I representing our life truthfully and interestingly enough for readers to be entertained.

I try to rearrange and update items so there are new items to catch someone's attention.  Then I worry...who knows why..."borrowing trouble" Mom called it. I have it down to a science.

Just producing headers is a lot of work.  I have to give equal face time, I think, to all the critters here. I worry whether the picture above (third header up and to the right) of Bonnie's reaction (fear) of a crawdad will be misconstrued as an example of the BAD Pit Bull...Yep, borrowing trouble.

I don't have (and I'm grateful some days) a fancy editing program to make headers.  I probably could not figure them out anyway so I make do with freebies.

I was so excited when I found the gadget that showed my five top posts people were reading.  That worked about a month and now it's showing the full ten posts.  I can't change it and we know how much Google cares. Frustrated!  So I dragged it to the bottom and seeing if it cures itself.

I have been blogging since '08 and have learned (some) as I go.  I have a different style of humor and worry that I may accidentally offend someone.  I report some item in farm life that might appear to be so cruel to someone who has never lived this life and I worry.

Farming/country life here is even different than farming/country life a few states away.  We learn from each other and allow people a glimpse into lives they may never be able to experience in their life time.

I have discovered I am not the brilliant writer I think I am some days.

I have discovered many wonderful people in blogdom who seem to understand me and Surprise! also like my writing.

I have discovered I worry too much about pleasing every one.

“I can't compete for likes and follows, I won't win. What I will do is pour out my heart and allow love to reach those that need it.”

Sometimes I have nothing to say...wow!  That's a shocker, but true.  “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I am not a writer nor an artist nor someone planning to be.  I live.  Sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I'm happy but hopefully always I will be human and humane.

Thank you for honoring me with your visits.
