Direction to me.
It seems the blogs may be nearly on the way out . Too easy with FB to comment a quick retort or post a photo of your last meal than to really take some time, maybe research, and present a thoughtful presentation on the blog.
Leaving my blog, I fear loss of my ability to stay with a project (may be aging but not to the extent that I experience it) since attending other distractions -- FB, etc. I will start something like repairing a lawn mower or sweeping up this lady bug infestation, and quit partway through vowing to return later. Things get eventually done but only through attrition. I seem to have no staying power with a project, even reading. Time for a change . . . .
And I see that poetry is still alive and well on the blogs: withrealtoads.blogspot.com
