This is expansive

As previously discussed, I have a lot going on. I feel better about it today. I think writing helped and talking about it helped - it usually does for me. And now I'm in that slightly awkward stage between having a couple of residual feelings that may need to be talked out and talking myself into more feelings. I think I've actually talked myself into more feelings than I'd like to admit. Yeah, I've done it. Please refrain from judgement. Thank you.

Anyway, I'm really feeling the Google Reader: www.google.com/reader

I think it's a great idea. Unfortunately at this stage of my Google Reader user experience I am hyper-focused on making sure that I catch every amazing blog out there. This has actually led to a massive backfiring. Now I have a TON of great blogs all nicely stored on my Reader and not enough time to stay up to date with all of them, and of course, I'm still out there subscribing to new blogs every time I check in. It's crazy wild fun! And yes, I'm still talking about Reader.

So I'm very excited about how expansive this whole experience has been for me. I realize that I'm a little behind with the whole blog thing. My super cool sister has been into blogs forever. I'm a little slow sometimes and I'm hoping that she'll show me the road to Cool Town. Sometimes I feel like I'm on my way there only to find out that I actually passed it and now I'm in Lame Land. But I continue my personal search and I think that I'm getting a little closer every day.

(Side Note: I think the trick to being cool, if there is such a thing, is to be real. I think that people who let themselves BE themselves are the coolest. The problem I run into is that I think too much - I know that's shocking - but then I end up thinking myself out of cool and straight into that awkward fear place that no one wants to visit or live, but we've all been there in conversations, in clothing, in hair styles, in umbrella usage, etc. You know what I mean. For me relaxing and going with the small voice within is the ultimate trick to cool. If you know me I think you'll agree, if not f-off. Ha! Not kidding! But let me know when you're done being judgemental and weird. We'll be friends again and it'll rock!)

I really am enjoying the wide world of blogs and being able to seek out other people's ideas and thoughts about just about anything. I love that there are communities swaping gifts with the focus on the wrapping or that there are people out there focused on photography or organization of their homes.

I love the expansiveness and all inclusiveness that this brings up for me. I hope you feel that way too.
