My Turn


I was listening to "Kidd Kraddock in the morning" on my way to work the other day about community service. Kidd was speaking to his morning crew about doing something for their community that they haven't ever done before. They were discussing the ways they each could contribute and how infectious it became if they advertised it on their Myspace, etc. Kidd called it "My Turn" and he wanted everyone to put that in the title of their blogs to try to pass it on. This is a great idea. February 10th is the dedicated "My Turn" day and if anyone is interested in learning more about this, they can go to www.myturnday.com. You can't give money to a charity, you actually have to spend time with someone. You can read to the blind for an hour or so, or you can take a pet to nursing home and visit the people living there. This is just examples of what a person can do. There is plenty that can be done, volunteers are desperately needed. So everyone, go blog about "MyTurn"

Hello,

I just got this blog set up and now I am testing it. Why is there a need for blogging? People want to share their thoughts and feelings just so the whole world can see. So, they find a place to post what they want to say, in the hopes that someone will respond. I see my teenagers leave posts on their MySpace page for friends or other nosey people to see. Maybe they are just a little vain to want to share their thoughts and pictures. I personally, don't have the need to blog, but it will be interesting to see how this one goes.
