A blog about blogs

I love blogs. I have "met" many amazing people through their blogs. Men and women alike. Some make me laugh so hard I think I just might wet myself. Now if I was techno savy enough I could link their blogs here. But alas I haven't gotten that far yet in my education of blogging. For now I'll just have to talk a little about them. A man in California has just sold his first book. If it reads as well as his blog does, I'll be one of the first to buy it. He's funny because he talks about everyday life with the humor of a boy stuck in a man's body. A woman in Florida makes me laugh for the same reasons. But they both can make you sad and thoughtful too. I've "met" 3 amazing women who are cancer victims. One with her PHD has 2 small boys and had a career at NASA. She has beat (so far) imflammatory breast cancer. An artist near DC has battled invasive lobular breast cancer. Both women are awe inspiring to read. The openness and honesty with which they have shared their battles is breath taking. Lisa in PA is battling cancer for the third time. I proudly wear one of the bracelets she makes to bring awareness to ovarian cancer. She has 2 tween girls and I pray everyday that she gets to see them grow up. I wish this for all of them. They are all in different stages of their life. They come from different backgrounds but they all have one thing in common: they write with humor and honesty and incredible wisdom.

Several times during the day I will have a thought or something will happen and I'll say to myself "Diva that would make a great blog post!" yes...I call myself Diva. But I spend so much time reading other peoples words, I don't have time for my own. I think I'm going to try and change that. Just like I find time to go to the gym to continue on my weight loss journey., I'm going to find time to write. Maybe I'll end up like another blogger I read who makes 40k a month blogging.
