We are What We Read

We are what we read. First of all, I Thank Jerry from Gently Said  
http://www.gentlysaid.blogspot.com/      who a couple of weeks ago posted a blurb about “The Momma Lou’s Diaries”. He included a quick link to jump directly to my post. The result was that I had more page visits than any other post that I had written. Thanks Jerry.


I was sitting at Starbucks this morning, reading the “news” and pretty soon I was thinking about a list of things that aggravated me. It seems that you can’t even go to Wendy’s without the possibility of having an all out brawl over French fries or Diet Coke. It goes on and on. This is a bunch of ba-lon-iiee, so I clicked over to my Blog Dashboard and started scrolling down the list of the people that I follow. Everyone on my list rolled through my mind like a Rollodex and each elevated my “happy thermometer”. Sometimes it seems that the happy catalysts are taken for granted and soon we are reading the opposite.

To each, I extend a Thank You. I plan to continue on both reading and posting, but I wanted to share this thought before I get back in line for a refill. Dorky you say? Ok,,,so what.

  8. I agree and understand. At my sad age the last thing I desire is controversy and pettiness...I want to know and hear some good things. I guess that is what draws me here....lotsa' good things told with talent from, of all things, a fellow Texan.

  9. Ok, what's with the brawling? What am I missing? Why are fights breaking out over French Fries and DIET Cokes? Well, maybe only that it is ludicrous to drink diet coke with a side order of Grease, but really, I think I'm missing something.

    I thank you too. Now, bring on some of your sweet stories.
