One of the most popular social networks in cyberspace is Facebook.com which along with millions of other folks I share information with my family and friends. It is for the most part full of very intricate joyful encounters connecting with my old high schoolmates and others I meet along life’s journey. So it is not surprising that my daughter and I keep in close contact using this medium on an everyday basis.
Since my epiphany to embark on this new adventure in blogging, I have struggled on what the subject of my first blog would be. Searching for that first time experience in this cyber world of public information and how to set limits with personal information. Well, my daughter in her infinite wisdom and advice has given me my first subject, indirectly. You see, I innocently inquired about how to start and write a blog after reading hers.
Upon opening my Facebook this morning the first thing I notice my sweet daughter has tagged my page with a link to her “new blog” for the day. Oh how nice, I think and eagerly click on the link to take me to what I know is going to be a joy to read. As I begin to read I am smiling because she is so witty and good with words. Reading on, my smile turns into a weird laugh and I think how clever of her to create from an ordinary conversation with her Mom. In my mind, thoughts by this time are where in the world she got this out of our conversation. All the while a healthy dose of “Oh no she didn’t” is running amuck in my head. Politely giggling my way to end of this master piece of creative writing I secretly begin to ponder my response. Luckily for her she printed a disclosure of embellishment in .2 italic fonts and in faded black text hardly discernable.
Perhaps I made a few comments and asked a few too many irrelevant questions concerning her previous blog however, I was just curious about what makes make my daughter tick. After all it is a blog of personal views and information strictly at the discretion of the author.
I am so proud at this moment to have learned that I can be such an inspiration to my child’s creative writing skills. I love you my daughter and you have and will always be my inspiration.
