You really get a better perspective when you read someone else's story. There are literally thousands. All interesting. Some are short and sweet, others long and intense. Not to say that short ones aren't intense or the long ones sweet. The writings of everyone is unique. The styles are sometimes similar and once in a while you stop to read just because it is bold and colourful. There are "" grumpy "" smiley faces and the different emotions that change to text in the final save at times. You learn you can use more features.

There are different stories, comments, opinions, poems.

The world of reading the discussions, blogs, opens up more to living when you seize the moment.

Ahhh. The experience of an interactive event via internet with everyone from around the world wasn't as successful. Actually, the experience showed how much more work has to be done in order to make the experience more smooth.

Reading and participating in the message boards about the telecast is an experience in itself. You read peoples' opinions and you can reply. It does not mean you'll get a response right away as the person who starts the discussion may not be online. So you check back later and read the persons response.

I'm of the opinion that everyone likes to write and have their voices heard. I'm no exception. I always wonder if any one reads what I write so when I participate in a discussion I know someone is reading what I have written.

Blogging like this, I never know if anyone reads it.

There is a comment button. I've used it twice on other blogs I've read. That shows you how many I've actually looked at.

I've been writing for about two to three years on Oprah.com first in the online journal and when she changed it to a blog.

I am going to make it a point to read other peoples blog and leave a comment so they'll know someone is reading.

Just another way of listening.
