enJOY it

Just completed my internet routine.

Check email.  Send the Gap.com and the Nordstrom.com and the Coach.com and the UrbanOutfitters.com emails to the trash.  Read the good emails.  The ones from the girls first.  Reply where needed.  Open the junk email that actually is of interest to me (i.e. scrapbooking websites).  Open the email from Facebook that reads "Erin Hanohano has made a comment about your photo."  Spend a moment or two on facebook.  Comment on Erin’s Wall.  Review my profile to be sure I still come across as a normal and more importantly, not-awkward human being.

Open the email that has been sitting in my inbox since May 9.  From: Me.  Subject: Websites.  Inside are links to the blogs that I read.  The blogs that inspire me.  Click on the blogs.  Get angry when they do not update.  Get excited (almost giddy) when there are updates.  When I get a glimpse at the lives of people that I hardly know.  People that I am connected to only by the sharing of ideas.  Of thoughts.

Come to typepad.  Check the comments.  Laugh when I remember that people do not like to leave comments.  Make mental note to comment on the blogs that I read.  And start to type.  Start to share my own ideas.  Become thankful for this internet that connects me with the world.  That allows me to communicate.  That allows me to grow. 

Thankful for this internet that provides me with entertainment as I enjoy my post-yoga-snack of toast and raspberry jelly.  Oh, so thankful.
