Why I love blogging.

Whats in a name?
That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.

William Shakespeare ~ Romeo and Juliet.

We can visit wonderfully sweet places and meet talented people at the click of a button.
Each day I know when I turn on my computer, something special is waiting for me there.
There is so much inspiration and creativity and it is a blessing and a reminder to us all, that we are here to make our life the best we can.

Thank you for the encouraging words you leave and for your friendship.
Your comments always warm my heart and bring a smile to my face.

I am still playing around with my new camera and I hope to learn some more and try for some better photos.
I hope that you are having a lovely weekend.

Hugs
Carolyn

  6. and because you can meet up with your oldest and bestest friends from childhood. I have been thinking of you especially in the last few days. It is a hard time for both of us as we share a special anniversary. All my love is with you and your family .

  7. Lovely post Carolyn, I agree there is so much creativity I spend more time reading and not enough time actually blogging. Just get so caught up with so many talented artists. We are so fortunate to live in these times when we have all this at the click of a mouse. Happy week ahead Robynxx

  17. Hi Carolyn,
    What a lovely post that reminds us the blessings we receive from our friends around the world through blogging. Like you said, each day holds something special when we turn on the computer.

    You, my friend, are a special part of blogging and a dear to the community of blogland. I am so thankful and better for having met you and cherish your friendship.

    Enjoyed your ginger beer process too. I bet it is delicious!!
    Hope you have a great week.

  18. Friendship is some-thing I didn't expect to find when I first started posting my french travel photo's. But I now have so many lovely friends I think of you all as my pen~pals across the seas. You were one of the first bloggers to leave comments on my site Carolyn, and that encouraged me to continue. Thank You for that.
