Internet icon Buzz is wondering if perhaps the blogosphere isn’t as kind as it used to be.  My answer?  I don’t know.  Most of the blogs I read are by really nice people. Buzz is one of the nicest, by the way.

 

I do know this, though:  my own blog has gotten pretty whiny lately, and I apologize for that.  I have tried to be kind all my life, and if I’m one of the ones Buzz is speaking of, I’m sorry, and I’m going to try not to be so picky and snarky.

 

This is hard when a person lives here and has been through so much, but I’m going to try.

 

I’ll backslide, I know; there are still a lot of frustrations I need to work out, and I do not suffer fools gladly.  However, I’m really going to try to be more upbeat, and to try to bring people UP rather than further DOWN.

 

If I get too “Pollyanna,” please slap me back.  I always thought she was too goody-two-shoes to be true.

 

Well, here goes:

 

I’m so glad this poison ivy is all over my face and neck instead of in a place I can’t scratch in public.

 

How’s that?
