Honestly, this world, this society, it isn't MY world, so it leave it behind a few times a year. I accept this as the place I have to be now because I no longer truly belong where I came from, but nor do I belong where I am. I get snippets of moments where I feel like I'm part of something, or I'm in the right place.<br /><br />Then I get an egg tossed at my back. Or a deer crashes into me. <br /><br />When my thoughts wonder, it's always back to the forest, back to my origin. But there are reasons that I stay out here. I have a purpose, I guess. Maybe it doesn't feel like enough to me some days. But maybe there's more to it than I can see from my limited point of view. I'm not a crow, after all.J Lenni Dornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961335286982498158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-86068732099371148232018-01-26T15:02:00.429-08:002018-01-26T15:02:00.429-08:00Yvonne, sorry I haven't visited much lately, b...Yvonne, sorry I haven't visited much lately, but I've been off the internet a lot lately.

Maybe it's my mood. Who knows? It's just okay to me. I liked The Colourfield's cover so much that I shared it in my Tuesday post crediting you for the introduction.<br /><br />Now for your questions! <br /><br /><b>Does your world keep up with where your thoughts go? Or do you feel like the world is leaving you behind?</b> Perhaps a little of both at times. I'm not hugely into social media sites other than blogging. I visit Facebook a few times each day just to see what's going on with friends/family. I do share daily on Twitter, usually it's an auto post from my blog but I do tweet a few important news articles DH shares with me each evening. However, I don't watch the feed closely. I find it too involving and it can be depressing at times. I prefer staying in my zone where happiness and good energies flow. :) I love technology! I have an iPhone and an iPad which I use frequently throughout the day. Obviously, I'm on my computer, too. But, I'm discovering a whole new world with my newest obsession (art sketching) which is mentally enlightening. I guess in part I can thank you for this because if you didn't host the A to Z challenge then I would've have pushed myself from thinking about to actually doodling again last year. Your annual challenge is what I needed. :) There are areas like trends that I do not fall in and could care less about, so the world can pass me by on this count. Overall, I'm content doing my own thing and loving the blessings of our times. Have a good weekend, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-32910915733173354882018-01-23T09:01:20.255-08:002018-01-23T09:01:20.255-08:00Pop Tart, thanks for dropping by.

I balked on the smartphone obsession and carry a Tracfone cell only for emergencies and when I travel. I decided it's okay to reject some technology, and it's okay if I don't jump into every new victim pool or march at every protest or whatever latest obsession rears its ugly head via social media. I'm leaving behind a world of stress and hysteria so I can enjoy a world of reading, writing, and bird-watching...or whatever I want. (I follow your blog so will see what happens next here, Lee. I hope you plan to continue the blog.)Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-55654063406404754592018-01-23T06:22:46.777-08:002018-01-23T06:22:46.777-08:00This song was new to me and therefore made the bat...This song was new to me and therefore made the battle all the more interesting.

I know I've done that a few times (and still narrowly avoided a shutout). <br /><br />Well, in a mere ten days we get to do it all over again. I gotta say, after those first couple months of me BOTBing only on the 15th, it sure did seem like a lo-ooooo-ng time before BOTB rolled around again. Just too long between Battles. I'm happy to be going back to the original BOTB schedule. <br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents 'Battle Of The Bands'</a></b>Stephen T.
