Blooming Where I'm Planted!

I want to read more.

Not books or newspapers or magazines

I want to read blogs.

My sister soul mate maintains TWO (minimum! There’s actually like 4 if you count the at least ONE she won’t cop to and her recent editing!) blogs and I’m actually embarrassed to admit that I only read her blog about once a week or two.  I read everything.  But it’s usually all at once, 10 to 14 posts from the past two weeks, on a Saturday morning as I sit, sipping coffee.

Now, I enjoy that.  I sit and delve into her mind.  It makes me miss sitting across the table from her terribly.  But why can’t I find the time to sit down every day and go through my Google Reader?  I mean, I ♥ my Google Reader.  It couldn’t be easier to use and all my subscriptions are in one central location.  Still I find no time to sit down and actually LOOK at it on a regular basis.

And I’ve just decided to add this to my Joy Quest.

I will take a whole 10 minutes, once every day, and I will actually READ the blogs that I subscribe to.  I will actually enjoy the thoughts therein, every day.

Why should I only allow myself time to read these things that I like enough to subscribe to, once every week or two, where I must devour all the joy I can get in one sitting?  I subscribe to some of the most fantastic blogs.  They’re written by the most fascinating people and I really enjoy reading along with their lives.  Why should I not enjoy them MORE?

And so I shall.

That’s also the main reason I rarely comment on other people’s blogs.  When you’re reading their last 5 to 14 posts, if ya stop to comment on each thing, you’ll be there all day :)

That brings my Joy Quest up to 2 items.  Gardening and blog reading.

The gardening has been going really well.  I’m having a lovely time shutting out the entire world and playing in the dirt.  I stole Mike’s truck from the shop yesterday and left my van in it’s place. LOL- I went and bought a yard of compost and had em dump it in and I drove it 25 miles to my Mom’s house where I filled her flower beds so she can do all her spring planting.

When Mike got home he shoveled the rest out by the greenhouse while I was planting zucchini plants in the garden.  Today all the tomato plants are going into their buckets and getting lined up in the greenhouse.  All nine of them :)

Well, I was halfway through the reading of my favorite blogs when I made the decision to add said activity to my Joy Quest, followed by feeling totally inspired to blog about it and here we are.  So now, I’m going to go make another cup of coffee (I ♥ coffee) and sit down and read what a few more of my favorite people are talking about today :)

Today, I manifest joy.  What are you manifesting?
