Addicted to Blog

While surfing some of my favorite blogs today I found this quiz at Sarah’s. She didn’t think that it’s very accurate, and for her I agree. Yet I felt it did right by me. Link to this quiz through Brit Gal.

I have become addicted to the blog world. And in the process I’ve met numerous interesting people from around the world. It’s opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities and people. I’m glad to have opened my mind to the technological changes around me.

“Remember when the library changed from card catalogues to computer?” Berta asked me today. Oh yea, and I wasn’t happy about it. Neither was she, and even went so far as to write a letter to the editor in complaint. Yet now she’s certainly computer savy.

Change, one of the hardest things to consciously do. Yet change happens so fast around us that we’re frequently caught in its tail wind, pulled through before we knew whether to resist. Sometimes it’s for the better, or worse. But I figure if something positive is learned, it’s all good.

So, yes, for now I’m 67% addicted to blogging, and 100% to life.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t savy enough to get the quiz’s image here thru a link. Still so much to learn!

Where I blog from…

I was tagged to show you where I blog from by Gill.

There is only one area for the laptop, wires, cords, etc. Remember I’m currently on dial-up. Plus with a poor connection somewhere I usually operate at about 24Kbps. Yet during the day I look out the window 20 feet away at two bird feeders. After dark my decorated curtains keep the cold out. I am a collector. From my chair I can reach almost everything in the living room. The little heater blows right on my feet, when it works. It’s dying.

OK, it’s your turn. If you’re reading this, you’re tagged. Show where you blog from. And no cleaning up first!

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
