I love the concept of the words "My space." I love the words together most of all. The beauty of blogs or spaces is that it is our own little place that we can share our thoughts, feelings, or whatever is on our mind. It's much like journaling, of which I was always good at in my younger years. It's also like having a home with walls to keep everyone else out (mostly). I've seen or read a few times out there where our spaces are NOT respected and that disturbs me that people are not very kind about it. The bottom line is that it [should] be respected by all visitors or otherwise just ignored if you don't like what is said. That means that if anyone has anything negative or contrary to say about anything written or said, you can certainly voice your opinion either way but in the end it is still my space that I own and I signed up for. And because I own it, no one else has to. So if there is anyone out there that doesn't like what me or anyone else says, you don't have to, but you can respect the space, "my space" or you just shouldn't visit, it's as simple as that.
Some months ago my extended family had a website. We had it for years and we all were able to write anything and post pictures and calendar events and all kinds of things imaginable. But with a simple decisive ignorant attack by one family member to another, the family administrator just decided to quickly shut it down for good. Maybe it was good to end it there, but I don't believe so. Our family hasn't communicated quite the same since and that is so sad to me. I personally don't believe in censorship, unless it is cruel or otherwise causing harm to another. I own what I say and every consequence that would follow. It's part of being an adult with a brain, which I have. Sorry, but something happened today that reminded me of my right to voice my feelings here without censorship of anyone on this planet.
And now back to your regularly scheduled blog reading.... :-)
So I'll revert back to my entry of a few weeks ago quoting the John Mayer song, "Say what you need to say." If I say it, I must need to say it or I wouldn't have said what I said. Got it!

Hey, I am sorry for whatever might have happened. One of the things that I have always loved about you is your honesty and sincerity and owning what you say, unlike many others in the old pack. Love you S Sue..
Ah oh. what happened?
HERE HERE! Love your blog, glad to have found you!
OK... so it was me who deleted.
But what Senga said about the "old guy" across the street was that he has three cars!! A Caty, a truck and a convertible. She was wondering whe she he leaves what he is up too... or going to do. She wondered if he was going to help a "family member: when he left in his truck; or if he was going to pick up a "chick" in his convertible. I think we all know what he what he was doing in his "Caty" going to church and picking up someone...
Uh oh, Joni's writing on the blog again after she's taken her ambien, Can you tell? It's all really nothing and water under the bridge now. Controversy always gets more visits though. So who can I tick off next? :-)
