Update on Husband's eye appt and Tuesday 4 - Blogging

My husband just returned from the Ophthalmologist, and he has a Vitreous Detachment in his left eye. NO tear. 

The Mayo Clinic:

Vitreous detachment occurs when the gel-like substance filling the eye, called vitreous humor, separates from the retina, usually as a result of aging. Symptoms can include an increase in floaters and flashes of light, and while it is often not sight-threatening, it is important to consult an eye doctor to rule out complications like retinal tears.

 Welcome to this week's Tuesday 4. 

1. Why did you begin blogging?  💻

Several years ago, my therapist suggested that I start a blog as a means of expression. I shared my experiences regarding divorce, feelings of abandonment, and the challenges of parenting solo. In the mid-1990s, I established a Christian Divorce Recovery Ministry for women, where I wrote extensively. After getting remarried, I outgrew the ministry and transferred the 501c organization to someone else. That ministry ceased operations about a decade later.

Subsequently, Xanga, Yahoo 360, and Blogger emerged.

2. What benefits does blogging offer you?

I absorb a significant amount of information and have numerous thoughts occupying my thoughts, and I need to "clear up space" in my mind. 

3. Have you made friends from blogging?

"There are no strangers here; 

Only friends you haven't yet met." 

 William Butler Yeats.

"It's strange to have a friend that you have never hugged, shook their hand or looked into their eyes. But you have been touched by their soul, seen the good in their heart and felt the warmth in their being."

4. Where do you get ideas for things you blog about? 💡💡

In the shower or through dreams. I’ll wake up and 💥 boom, there it is, all set before me. Every time I have a thought, I draft it out, and 9 times out of 10, I never publish it. I just needed to get it off my chest. 

Do other bloggers influence you? 

Perhaps something they wrote inspires an idea a future post.
