So this morning I went about my usual summer routine.

Get up. Let the dogs out. Make coffee. Read a chapter from my Bible. Let the dogs in. Check my blog for new comments left overnight.

This is what I love about blogging…how one simple comment leads to many wonderful discoveries:

• Reconnecting with bloggers who “knew you when”. Such is the case of Sherry from Going Goofy. I have always enjoyed Sherry’s honesty and sense of humor but somehow we got disconnected (probably from my constantly changing blog formats/names). What a treasure/pleasure it was to click on over to her place today and read about her “being one fry short of a happy meal”. Needless to say I enjoyed my morning giggle as I thought about recent moments where I too was “one fry short”.
• Being able to relate wholeheartedly with posts written by other bloggers. Just like the one that Sherry wrote. It made me feel as though I am not alone with the search to locate parts of my mind that have gone MIA. This inspired me to write a post of similar experiences and I set off to find some Google images of being “one fry short” to bring interest to my post.
• Finding an image to “beautify” my post and discovering a book I want to read by someone who lives just a short distance away. While searching for my “one fry short” image I found a book titled: One Fry Short: A Journey Toward Self Discovery and Emotional Success by Tim Passmore.
  • Product Description (from Amazon)
    Are you a fry short? Some have been described as being “one fry short of a happy meal.” This is a common phrase used for those who are a little “off.” Dr. Tim Passmore knows what this means through personally experiencing the stress of unhealthy emotions. He has struggled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Bipolar Type II Disorder since childhood. His journey has taken him through formal training in psychology, counseling, and treatment by medical professionals. The most significant influences in addressing his issues have come through his study of God’s Word and finding value through his personal relationship with Christ. Join him as he helps you discover who you are and influences you as you travel down the road which can lead to emotional success. Dr. Tim Passmore is pastor of Woodland – The Community Church in Bradenton, Florida.

This is what I love about blogging:

• an old friend stopped by to say hello and in the process of reconnecting I found an awesome book to add to my “to be read” pile. How cool is that.

Go and say hello to a blogging friend you haven’t “talked” with in awhile. You never know what wonderful events will follow.
