In life, we can either let our experiences make us bitter, or we can channel that feeling towards being a good example in order to improve things.

Olam hablog

Wow can you believe it, it's alsmost 2006! I wonder if any bloggers are going to do a review of 2005 and mention memerable posts from the year. Then again, maybe somebody already did and I don't know it, or maybe they're going to. Obviously since there are so many Jblogs, they won't be able to mention all of them, but will just mention some. And if a bunch of bloggers mention their favorite posts from the year, then I'm sure a blog that wasn't mentioned in So & so's blog will be mentioned in another.

Why did you start blogging? I started in order to say what's on my mind and also to socialize with others. I think most of us probably do it for these reasons and then some. Before I started, I was just a reader and wasn't really interested in doing it myself. Later someone told me that I might decide to make one myself and I thought neh, I don't think so. Well we all know how that turned out, lol. When I first started, it was so exiting because of the possibilities. It's also hard because it takes up time and effort. But I think the positive outweighs the negative. You meet many people and make many virtual friends. I guess you can do that without being a blogger and just being a commentor, but with blogging you get to share stories and other stuff that's on your mind.

Well that's all. Have a good week everyone.

Interesting, the Jewish round up of the non-Jewish year. I would definitely be interested to see a top ten list, but how would it be established? Most comments? Most page views? Or on more of a subjective basis, ie what was most topical, most well researched, best written, most controversial? So many possiblities. Unfortunately, no single post stood out in my mind. I spent the year just widening my net of the great stuff out here.

I started as a blogger, and only at the end became a commentator. I guess the blogworld seemed about self expression, and only later did I learn that it's really a community. While I still love the creative outlet, I've learned that you can really build friendships, even if you never go further than leaving comments.

Some blogger might establish it as a top 10 list of the most something or other. And someone else might just post a list of their favorite posts.

Also, I agree about building friendships

That's why you blog. Cool.

It's okay to be lazy once in awhile. I wish you hatzlacha in your mussar excercise.
