Good morning

Hello all... I know most of you are sleeping at this hour (4:10am) but I just got home from work. It has dawned on me the power of a blog in the last couple of days, because I never consider social insecurities like one of my classmates has mentioned. I think the blog is really good for just sitting down and writing... a lost skill in my opinion. Writers can be very open, honest and raw in their posts.

I also think it is a valuable tool for learning to open up. I feel somewhat exposed to having people read "feelings" but as a learning tool that could be kind of good. We try to teach tolerance to our children and students, but what better way than to have them read other's, who may be different, blogs?

I found an interesting blog from an Amish girl and read a few posts and was very interested in learning more about life on the farm. I think blogs can connect us with worlds far away or near that we may not have ever paid attention too. Like you all... you may have never realized there is a whole world that exists between 10pm and 6am!!!

Until next time..... Happy Sunday
jill
