I have taken years to figure out what my niche in life would be, could be, should be.  For years I have worked to make my space in the world a better place, an idea my mother instilled in me from a very young age and one that I hope I hand down to my children.  That being said, it brings me to my point, rather quickly, that when I am blogging how do I make my place on this cyber world a better place to be.
The more I thought about it the more I've decided that it is harder than I really expected it would be.  I could write about the old days compared to present times and sometimes that would be a good idea but I still find it lacking focus.  Another idea, talking technology.  Nope, too many of those sites. I would just blend into the background.  Shopping, book reviews, television, recipes, the list of what might be important enough for me to blog about is going down fast, and then it came to me.
The other day I wrote about the changes in writing and the piece of writing that I had listened to that lead me down that path.  Yes, it did have to do with the 'olden days', but in truth it had to do with the feeling and the emotions that this piece of young adult literature sparked in me.  In college, many years ago, I learned about bibliotheropy and how important it was to children dealing with things that, at that time, seemed way to much to handle.  A book was one place in which they could take comfort in and share in those secrets that may scare them the most knowing that they were not alone.  In today's world it is easy to take pill for this or that, want to solve something magically or even to give up altogether.  So, instead of giving up on trying to figure out what to blog about, it is the search that is the blog.  Corny, I know, but it seams right.  The human condition is all about change, and our fight not to change, so I will choose to write about the search for meaning, the inspiration of what is out there, and of course the quotes that somehow have spoken to me on a different level.  Although this may not be profound, or vastly different than some blogs it is however, my view of my corner of my world.
