Good morning, are we all up and energetic today? *I know we are a bit lazy on Mondays so never mind to answer* 
I thought about talking about the blogging experience. It may not be a strictly personal issue which is related to my experience because nowadays everybody is always entangled by the vast online world. One of the main reasons is that I love writing ♥ I've been composing short stories and poems in Arabic and English since I was 12 years old or so. Writing is one of my hobbies, along with music and drawing, that has endured successfully my busy schedule.
Maybe because the writing activity just needs a pencil and a paper or a keyboard and word processor. On the other hand, drawing needs the medium you are using (acrylic, pastel etc...) and music needs an instrument and an adequate environment. The picture below justifies some of the mess I'm talking about...
Actually, I wrote most of my works during late studying hours... You know whenever you are studying, you may be distracted by the silliest things like a fly which you accuse of conspiring to distract you, and a Facebook photo shared with a friend of another friend which you think you may know so you decide to pay his profile a "quick visit"... Consequently, you end up refreshing the News Feed, Gmail inbox, and even you may reach a point of browsing through old pics saved decades ago on your computer.. *Ok I know these stuff because I've done them all during university years* 
So, writing is one of the ways I adopted to have an efficient distraction from studying! Luckily, this is one of my productive distractions. I do believe that stress and intense emotions like grief and happiness stir my soul and mind and force out writings which are reflections of my feelings... and I happen to feel a lot
Back to the purpose of my post *I sure strayed a bit*, I have been influenced by the movie "Julie and Julia" which narrates the story of two women, one of the 1960's and the other of 2002, interested in cooking and writing and blogging respectively.
Therefore, I felt immediate connection to the characters and the movie! By the way, the movie is really entertaining and serves valuable themes as the necessity to break our routine and have faith in our interests and talents.
Without a question, the idea of possible being read by thousands of people of different cultures and backgrounds is really exciting! I am aware at this point I don't have those thousands of readers but I do know that sharing is caring, and at some point I hope to have tens and thousands of readers-friends.
To all of you out there who are kind of bored in your offices/cubicles, or exhausted after cooking lunch, or helping your kids in their Calculus assignment, or just aimlessly flipping the TV channels with no luck in any movie which hasn't been repeated for the 100th time:
By the way, tulips are my favorite and they cheer me up; hope they work their magic on you too!
