The best and the worst of blogging

The best is meeting new people by linking and linking and linking.

The worst is all the POO stories! I had forgotten how often and how creatively kids disseminate poop. I keep having to get up from the computer and go scrub under my nails!

The best is gleaning good ideas from other bloggers.

The worst is reading about someone's heartbreak, knowing they're so far away you can't physically help them.

The best is the descriptions --both verbal and photographic -- of the changing Fall weather in Maine or Minnesota.

The worst is the longing to go see, feel, touch those places, knowing you probably never will. (But I have decided I am going to go see a real pueblo before I die)

The best is the sense of community when someone responds to something you've written. Bloggers lend a hearty "Amen!" to our lives.

The worst is realizing you have spent more times with your friends' blogs than face to face!

The best is spending hours wandering through peoples' lives

The worst is spending hours wandering through peoples' lives. (what laundry?)
