I ventured into the virtual world in 98 and for years I'm not going to confess to, I spent too much time typing instead of enjoying face-to-face time. We grow though, don't we? I'm back online after a three year absence, and I'm far more confident and interested in balance. I'm not a great juggler, but I'm not the clumsy olf I was so I'm back and glad to be online because virtual friends are real friends, and many of you I would have not met otherwise.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. When we retire from the concrete jungle I intend to stick my untalented, brown hands in the earth and see if I can make something grow. :-)LaTonya Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837979981517423142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817118162155416984.post-8780012030011624662013-05-04T12:00:47.136-04:002013-05-04T12:00:47.136-04:00Me too! Well...me too, I'm trying to simplify....Me too! Well...me too, I'm trying to simplify. Me too, I was a an avid blogger until late 2009 and then...I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I had become too seriously involved with the online world and not involved enough with the real world. Last summer my man and I started gardening. He made me a vegetable garden, all fenced in with white pickets and we spent every day outside, with each other, with the flowers and the seeds and the tomatoes and the rabbits and it changed me. I know my neighbors now (who knew that being a hermit with my books and my laptop would cut me off from people literally yards away from me?) Next week, there's a neighborhood garage sale and I've been piling up things to put out there...and let go of. It's good. It's really good. Love reading what you have to say!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.com
