Day 6: Kickin' It Old Skool Blog-a-Thon

I missed yesterday - it was a busy day. I hope to do a make-up post later today, but for now, I'm staying in the moment. - ed.

My First Blog Post!

I've only been running this blog since May, but my musician blog has been going since 2009 and I decided to post my first post from that blog:

http://alexsings.blogspot.ca/2009_10_01_archive.html

It was really fun to look back at that and see that what prompted me to start a blog in the first place was to share a joyful experience I had with my community and to shout out to all the great people who made it possible.

I'm still like that. I like to share my experiences of my community and my feelings when I blog - mostly joyful feelings, but sometimes more difficult ones. Blogs are great places to share and be in connection!

    Enjoyed reading your blog post. I found the idea of a "rock goddess" getaway week-end fascinating as most of the "getaways" I've done have usually been spiritually-based on some level - although often music is involved - usually drumming so I guess there is a little "rocking" going on. ~ John

      The women's rock weekend is super-fun and interesting. Playing an unfamiliar instrument is mind-expanding! I love drumming - always exciting with different people - glad you getaway for those explorations, John!

      Thanks, Dawn! I am enjoying the Blog-a-Thon, though I'm so busy I'm days behind. But I'm remembering rule #2 - Have Fun! I may not be able to participate as fully as I like, but I'm really having the best time I can with it. Thanks for commenting on my blog - I hope to catch up on your and everyone's posts over the Christmas holidays, if not before.
