If You Give a Mom a Moment: Come, Follow Me

Come, Follow Me

I'm not really sure what "following" means, and how it differs from Google Reader or a bloglist. But I've seen it on blogs and I'm guessing it's a popularity thing. **OH NO, don't take me back to HIGH SCHOOL** But anyway, if you like what you read on my blog, you can click "follow my blog" immediately to the right and become a follower. Then I will join your Bunny Hop line and follow you. Then we can all be popular together...but I will never thumb my nose at the un-popular crowd. Too many still-fresh memories from high school.

Kristina P. said...: Yeah, I don't get the whole following thing either. But I will still follow you on my Google Reader!; September 27, 2008 at 9:05 AM

All the kids yell one zero one zero, I resisted the urgh to yell ninety four ninety four ninety ninety ninety four.. WOW.. really miss those days.. NOT>; September 27, 2008 at 11:28 AM
Lara Neves said...: Hmmm....well you can consider me a follower, but I won't be doing it the blogger way until I understand more about it. :) Right now, I don't really see the point. Be assured you're in my reader, though.

I don't even have that particular gadget on my page and I already have a bunch of followers on my dashboard and I have NO IDEA how they did that.; September 27, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Erin said...: I know, I'm the same way. I really don't get it. I just thought I'd play for a while, see how it works, and if it doesn't, delete the widget!; September 27, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Lara Neves said...: I figured it out. If you follow a blog, it will automatically add to your Google reader. So, I suppose it is just a quick way to add new blogs in?

And then, of course, there's the popularity story. :); September 28, 2008 at 2:12 AM
Kayla said...: I voted "Other" on your little poll. There were times I loved high school and I really wish I could go back to re-live some events. Then, there were really horrible, low, lonely days that I would never want to live again but that I wish I could go back and change my actions. Then there were days where it was "just fine." So I guess I vote all three. But overall, I am so relieved to be out of those days!; September 28, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Mindi said...: i just went to follow and then remembered that i am ALREADY following.

not the sharpest tool in the shed today.; September 28, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Christine said...: What a completely hilarious title for this post!; September 28, 2008 at 7:58 PM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
