High-Tech and What Feels Right

I wish I had more time to play with the social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and the rest. Well, maybe I'm glad I don't feel I have the time. To tell the truth, they do not appeal to me. They seem too large, too crowded, and even though they are very personal, they do not seem "homey" and "cozy." My blog feels homey and cozy to me. I think that's what I'm best suited for.

At my age, when I find something I like to do and it feels right, I stick to it. It doesn't mean I am not open to new things. I never tried a blog until a little over a year ago. A few gals in a Yahoo craft group mentioned theirs. I visited the different blogs. I really liked the informal look. Until that time, I had been trying to force myself into a website-mode. I still have the silly thing, a very poor effort, and I really should make a decision on it.

I'm not into updating it constantly. I can easily write all the articles I wish to right here. I might keep the site for only one-page sales-letters for special projects, but I'm not sure it's worth almost $25 a month. Maybe I'll hold on for another month or two, put up a few more one-page mini-sites on it, and see if they pay their way. If not, I'll just do a disconnect.

So, back to the subject. I tried blogging, which was totally new to me early last year. I've looked at Facebook and Twitter and they just do not feel like "me." The same thing happened with me and eBay. I have friends who sell and sell well on eBay. I could never get the hang of all the features. Yet, the very first time I visited Etsy, I felt at home.

I am learning to trust my own instincts about what is right for me in this constantly changing high-tech world. I like what my instincts are telling me. Don't be afraid to trust yours - don't let the media, the ads, the hype, push you - go with what feels "right" for you.
