Good morning everyone. I hope it is another happy day for all of you.
I’ve overhauled my blog slowly the past days. I noticed that there are some new bloggers who followed me and some are reading my old posts which I have already forgotten. My mind says, “did I write all those?”And my thoughts wander and wonder. Yes, I did. Some are quite emotional posts, some are a little inspirational, some are just thoughts and ramblings of the old me.
Blogging has come a long way. All these years, I’ve been sharing myself in cyberspace and I love it that I came to know a lot of people in the blogosphere and became friends with some of them. Although we don’t see each other and probably have no chance at all to see them personally, I feel a little closer because they share their lives and stories too.
We love stories, don’t we? We love it when we have similar aspirations and dreams in life. Short of saying, “You too?”, it is really wonderful. I love seeing your photos, pictures of your family, places you go to and you’ve been to, your garden blooms, your daily routines and what have you.
We may have different cultures but everything merges here in one community of bloggers.
I feel the same, just started my blog in July, still trying to clean up some design errors, but I absolutely love this community. We all share the common desire to speak from our heart, and that is very moving to me.
Thank you, Arlene for your heartfelt posts too!

Blogging tells us that we are all the same. In a world of preconceptions, prejudice, and lack of understanding, blogging proves that all people are basically good at heart. We would never really know this, without the chance to meet other bloggers in the community.
Best wishes, Pete.

I am always amazed at the connections I have made from blogging. I end up thinking about other bloggers all the time when I read something about their country. Now that I know someone there, the news has meaning to me.
