Some of these blog hops have a way of energizing us, giving us new things to write about and making us enjoy the journey. Sounds like you had a great week, just the same!

Of course, the main thing is to not put pressure on yourself.<br /><br />And ah yes, those blog hops and blogfests. A great way to meet new people. Although I don't participate them, I have a great time mostly satirising the alphabet challenge. I have a great rapport with the hosts.<br /><br />I write when the mood strikes me. A most therapeutic, cathartic, positive resource for me. <br /><br />I went for a "Happy Meal" and didn't feel any happier. I wonder if I can sue them! <br /><br />Peace be with you and I appreciated your supportive comment on my site. Thank you.<br /><br />Gary<br /><br /><br />klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-23286513767800322192013-02-02T17:55:39.944-05:002013-02-02T17:55:39.944-05:00@Morgan: The way I look at it, there's nothing...@Morgan: The way I look at it, there's nothing wrong with 'recharging the ole' batteries' every once in a while, as I'm sure yo already know :)<br /><br />For my process, I always need to, at least, try to stay somewhat positive.<br /><br />I should post a Big Mac next week...food seems to be popular :DMark Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029920604932980141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-69404951807553875502013-02-02T16:55:42.081-05:002013-02-02T16:55:42.081-05:00What the random french fries?!?!?

I remember too liking them because they were the only ones to have fat straws. Everyone else's were smaller. That's a very fond memory.
