If I asked myself... How has my life been enhanced and what skills have I cultivated since I've started blogging?
My answer would be this.....
My answer would be this.....
- For me blogging has given me an opportunity to cultivate a more open attitude and to express myself more freely using the written word and not be afraid to share it.....
- And by using my camera I now have a way of cultivating a more creative me; by adding my pictures to my regular blog posts.
- But what I love most of all is that it's given me the ability to cultivate some really great friendships.
What about you? How has you life been enhanced and what skills have you cultivated since you've started blogging?
C...for CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has definitely helped me cultivate my skill in meeting a deadline. When I know I have to post on a certain day, I'll actually get the writing done. And writing more often has improved my skill in writing.
ReplyDeleteI agree and pushing for that with this challenge too! I can be a bit of a procrastinator!
DeleteThe very reason I signed up for the A-to-Z Challenge: to cultivate the habit of writing regularly and to cultivate online friends.
ReplyDeleteI love that it has cultivated friendships because that is how I found YOU! :) Blogging has given me a place for me to put my words down and a place to keep my writing. I love that about blogging and then of course there is the bonus of meeting awesome friends!!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has helped me spell better. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteBut beyond that, blogging forces me to take photos of and keep a journal for my children so that they have something to look back on.

Great topic for C! Of course the word cultivate makes me think of my garden and how I need to get is started for the year!
ReplyDeleteJen, great word to go with a lovely blog. It was very nice to meet you and we wrote on a similar theme today!...thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteI started blogging to keep my family in the US up to date... then I met some really great friends... and now I keep it us, as a sort of online diary.. .. I hope my kids will be able to look back and see how crazy I am about them & remember some of the fun things we have done together. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood post Jen! Cultivating....I started blogging to help me recover from a serious concussion. It did. It got me talking to people, writing, photographing everything, thinking about things I never thought of before....like goats!! lol....expressing myself and learning to spell again. So yes, it has cultivated me and I am happy to be part of this blogisphere!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as you- cultivating creativity through my photography and the friends! The friends are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI love how you expressed the growth and changes in your life with the word "cultivated". What a perfect word to use to show growth as a person. I've written about self-improvement a lot, it's important to me the older I get. I want to learn and do as much as I can while I can. Enjoying your A-Z posts.
ReplyDeleteIt's my inner gardener coming out Elizabeth! I was mentioning to another person who commented in an e-mail that we just planted our veggie garden today, so cultivation is on my mind in more ways than one!
DeleteThere is nothing like old friends. I will agree that it shows how we value those who know us so well. I love the word you chose for "C" and what you cultivated because of "We're Living A Full LIfe".
ReplyDeleteI have thoroughly enjoyed all the interaction and bonds I have created through my blog...including meeting you!
definitely cultivated some computer skills - of which I had basically none prior to blogging. definitely my creative self. and definitely the great community of blogging!
ReplyDeletecultivate--I love just saying that word!
ReplyDeleteI think blogging has made me more aware. I see everyday events as something worth recording.
And of course I have cultivated some great friendships with people like you--people I likely would have never met otherwise!
Great post for C. The friendship is what blogging has always been about for me. I've been lucky enough to meet a few of my blogging friends. It's so great to meet someone for the first time and immediately feel like old friends :)
ReplyDeleteAren't the friendships amazing? And when you get to meet people IRL it's even better!
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. I never realized that following blogs in this challenge would lead to such engrosing conversations and shared thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that blogging has allowed me to "cultivate" many friendships.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I met one and have skyped with several. Having been diagnosed with a mental illness, these people understand me and my struggles.
Never met any blog friends IRL I might be doing that this summer with one.
Delete"C" for caring. someone who cares about her friends old and new!
ReplyDeleteMy blog friends you included mean a lot to me! Caring, perfect "C" word!
DeleteGreat post...I'm liking your A-Z entries!
