I have just read bloggers ten anniversary comments and realised that it does a great thing for seniors.
LONELINESS.
As a senior, I feel we experience more loneliness than most; as life cease to be so active and everyone else is busy, the elderly are often in a world that has been bypassed. After all, they think different, and many can't cross the great divide to the young.
Blogging gives expression to thoughts and whether it is read or not, it leaves a legacy when the senior goes across the river to the great hunting ground. My personal emotional needs have been met just by publishing on this blog. Of course I am not as entertaining as the one who know all the bells and whistles, pictures and all; yet it meets an emotional need - to be heard. And I promise you, my reader, that it will get better as I learn more. You should have seen my first attempt - the ugliest theme in the world - I was happy though. To anybody who would listen it was, "Come look, I can blog," I was as excited as a little child.
Any senior wants to join me?
