Only the Good Friday is one of Shelly’s many contributions to the world. I may forget until late Friday night or early Saturday to write only good, but the thought is lurking in my mind. And you know what? Blogging and bloggers are my Only the Good thought for Friday, today.
Sure we can learn about life and society and causes just by turning on the TV, reading a newspaper, browsing the internet, or talking to people – and, of course, by living it. But blogging exposes us to a side of humanity we don’t necessarily get from a news report or magazine article. And it exposes us to people letting their guard down, to thoughts written in moods of all sorts. It is a glimpse of real people, for however much some try to disguise their true selves, it eventually come out in their writing. And since a lot of blogging is short snippets, we are more tempted to read a point of view other than our own. Besides, sometimes we actually get the news first from other bloggers. If I can’t climb a mountain, I can find someone that will share their climb with me. If I feel sad and need to know others are, I can find someone sad out there, and happy, of course, I can find happy.
I love blogging, I love reading blogs, I love being exposed to the world…. I love that bloggers share.
Check out the other good Shelly’s and her readers have taken the time to share.
