Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1311011

A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.

Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.

I'm starting a new blog because

BOOK

L'aura del Campo

(13+)
Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.
#982524 by Kåre เลียม Enga

had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK

Hoarfrosts from Hell

(XGC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre เลียม Enga

is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK

Enga mellom fjella

(13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre เลียม Enga

was full... until the number of entries was increased. A mixed blog, mostly stories.

I'll be linking to

BOOK

On The Write Path

(13+)
ON THE WRITE PATH: travel journal for Around-the-World in 2015, 16, 18.
#2032403 by Kåre เลียม Enga

as I need to post there about my travels.

BOOK

O Pinions!

(XGC)
May my opinions gather wind under their wings and fly, perchance to soar.
#1501776 by Kåre เลียม Enga

is for my opinions.

BOOK

Nurture your Nature

(13+)
Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.
#1439094 by Kåre เลียม Enga

was set up for nature observations and musings.

BOOK

Watt's Gnus

(18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre เลียม Enga

come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

FOLDER

Flash Fiction

(GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre เลียม Enga

is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

STATIC

Space Cadet - the never ending journal

(18+)
Journeys of an Alien Space crew.
#2226611 by Kåre เลียม Enga

I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

FOLDER

Conquest ... to keep track of contests

(ASR)
A place to keep track of in progress works and up-coming deadlines as well as any awards.
#2233119 by Kåre เลียม Enga

(also very messy!)

FORUM

Blogville

(XGC)
Where bloggers meet and greet to read and share. No required prompt. Alias: blogville.
#2253938 by Kåre เลียม Enga

is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.

BOOK

Bibimbap 비빔밥

(13+)
Left-overs piled on hot rice and mixed.
#2296648 by Kåre เลียม Enga

an E blog focusing on food and culture. Easily digestible for the Queasy and Questioning.

Lots of things checked

. That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked?

Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.

At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.

It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.

SandraLynn You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.

Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.

Glad you're OK. Watch for soreness tomorrow. That's what happens to me when I bounce off the ground or something. At least your writing is still fine.
