Lost in the Forest

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

A.A. Milne

While blogging seriously (as opposed to aimless meandering) I respond to comments, read the entries of those I follow, and make as witty or understanding a comment as I can muster. Every time I think I'm ahead of the game, I check my blog rolls and discover not just one of you, but most of you, have already posted a new essay. When do you people pee?

My organizational skills are challenged. I'm never first in line with a new post for more than a few seconds. I can't keep up with the comments. But the twining road through the forest of blog magnetism doesn't have a definite path. I find walking deeper into the forest without a compass quite enjoyable.

I'm becoming a blog slut. I want to follow everyone. From the farms in Iowa to fellow writers and avid book readers, travelers, idea gatherers, and the world's vast cultures and intricacies, if only... if only this wasn't such a good way to entertain myself and learn about the world.

Probably not the best thing for all the writing I'm not producing, the books I'm not reading, or my future ventures in life that I struggle to pinpoint. Finding a path out of the forest to occasionally view the sky or find a road is definitely a necessary endeavor. I so hate reality. But how else will I find my way back into the woods?

Alas, from the sunshine on my face from the open sky, a belated thank you to Missy at Missy's Book Nook for awarding me the Humane Award. I am humbly honored.


"The Humane Award is in order to honor certain bloggers that I feel are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn’t for them, my site would just be an ordinary book review blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world.”

If you're seeking a good book, Missy has the latest on what's out there to satisfy your reading tastes. She posts every day and must read 5000 words a minute. Also, authors - she is happy to review your book. Check out her site, and Missy? I'm thinking your organizational skills are NOT wandering aimlessly in the forest.

To award this to my favorite bloggers? Can't do it. I'd be all over the world, for days, choosing. Please take this lovely award and pass it on to your favorite readers and followers.

See y'all in the forest.
