Keepin' Up With Electronic Updating/Posting/Blogging

I'm not a very good blogger. I just don't see how I can keep up in this electronic world. I watch people on Twitter and FaceBook and I see how they're posting constantly ... Would that mean that they're on ALL the time? How can that be? I, too, love to follow my friends, but to sit in front of the computer or to have my iPhone in hand all the time ... ??? I'm not saying that that's all that they do, I just feel as if I'm not able to keep the pace. I'm sure that most are multi-task as they tweet, update status posts, or write their blogs. But there's also updating DailyMile, NikeRunning .... aaaaaaahhhh!!

I believe that much of my problem is that I'm still the one that loves writing in a journal. It's tangible. I like seeing my handwriting on paper. I like being able to pick it up and turning a few pages to see what I had written on a certain day versus having to scroll thru various screens. Maybe it's the brightness of the screen making my eyes get all goofy that prevents me from staring at the screen all day long. Mostly, I just don't believe that what I have to say is of interest to anyone except me. I'm one of those individuals who do more observing and watching, rather than interacting. I like to listen more than I speak.

I love it though. I love to read what people are doing. I love reading their thoughts that they blog about. It's like an sneak peak into a little part of their world. I love my Twiends. I've met some really great people who inspire and motivate me. I've also read some read blogs that provide insight and enlighten me!

I'm almost there ... I post my tweets, follow my friends, I make comments, and blog here and there. I'm much more advanced than I ever thought I'd be, even impressing my son at times!
