I have thought about that myself. I can't decide what to do with my blog. My main problem is time. I'd think at 75 years old, one would have a lot of time, but not so for me.

It is great that you have found good people to help.<br /><br /> Like you, I was spurred to action because of the Feedburner change, figuring it was just the first of many upheavals to come. I stopped blogging, but am following your progress with great interest. Who knows what the future holds.<br /><br />I am sure your new website will be a tremendous visual and creative success.

But now, I'm feeling more free. Back in my groove, shall we say.<br /><br />On the topic of receiving and feeling a simple thank you,it reminds me of just having been sitting in the garden with a coffee and enjoying the flowering plants which are 'bursting out all over' as my mum reminded me of an old song. The flowers poised on the ends of reaching stems are making their fleeting offering and I was contemplating the way that despite part of me wishing that certain plants would behave a little differently in their growth that I should accept them as they are and receive them to feed my spirit without hindrance! There is also a sense of giving them the best chance with my looking after them, then having the grace to receive happliy. There is so much in life that we can do this with, without marring it with different expectations or imposing sanctions. We obviously all have to practice simply receiving,and quieten the 'noise' that we tend to create.

And you are right about the challenge of being a good listener -- I often catch myself thinking about what I want to say instead of quietly and openly listening.

A good listener is hard to find. I often sit quietly in the morning and receive the sights and sounds and the thoughts that you get when you have no distractions.
