Coming back to Blogger

I am thinking of coming back to Blogger. I have loved my Evernote and Postach.io integration, but there are a lot of features in Blogger that I like as well. One feature is as I write this, I am on my iPhone using my email app. Brilliant! 

I remember years ago using my ENV2 to send text messages as posts on Blogger. Things have changed quite a bit, smartphones are all the rage!

As my first post back, I am going to share several thoughts/quotes/sayings that I have come across and captured in the past 2 weeks. (Side note: I did not take the time to properly cite these quotes. Some of them are mine, some are paraphrased, and some are just copied without attribution.) I actually took the time (one hour to be exact) to go back over the past 2 week's worth of journal entries and notes from my notebook.  I found this hour unexpectedly this evening, as my wife and kids had other things going on that took them out of the house. I emptied the garbage in the house, and then began reflecting. Enjoy!
