If Wishes Were Fishes...I'm Just Sayin'

I wish I was more computer savvy. 

Somehow I lost all access to my old blog "IAmGrateful101.blogspot.com" and so this is my new blog. I thought about giving up blogging altogether, but I do enjoy writing and I love connecting with my sister and friends via the blog sites, so I will give it another go. 

"I'm just sayin'" is a very well used phrase in my world. I didn't realize how often I use the phrase until the property manager I work with pointed it out; now I notice it ALL the time. I've decided it really means "I'm 99% sure I am right, but do what you want with the information". This phrase can be used in many tones - teasing, serious, angry, desperate, urgent, whiny, happy...the list is endless. At the end of the day "I'm just sayin'" is really just my opinion on something, for what it is worth. 

Today I am just sayin' I wish I knew more about blogging. Perhaps this means I should take a class or read about it online. How do I preserve the hundreds of posts I uploaded to my other site? Not all of them are really worth saving, but it represents many hours of writing; maybe this is why I should just stick to a regular journal to record my deepest and most riveting thoughts. :) 

Tomorrow I will begin writing in earnest again - this is really just the test post to get things going. 

I Am STILL Grateful,

  1. That is ludicrous. I would be heart broken for you.....but I don't think it is a permanent sitch.... have you tried to get a hold of Blog Spot for help? I'm just sayin, don't throw in the towel that quickly sis. I love this new approach.... perfect. If you decide to drop the other, I would STRONGLY suggest making a blog book NOW. Don't wait until something even worse happens. Try Blurb.com.......I beg of you. Please make your book so I can make one after you tell me how easy it really is. I wish I could just have someone else make my blog into a book. It seems like it will be so time consuming and hard. Still.....I know you, and I, and our families would treasure it. It is our scrap book/journal all in one. K.......so go forth and make your book!!!

    I'm just sayin.....
