You know what simply amazes me? How so many people want to complain and belly ache about todays youth, and how they are this, or that, how they act, or should act. After a year of being on this site, I have sat back and evaluated my experience. I enjoy blogging here, I've learned alot. My mom got interviewed for a segment, that was neat. For the most part, it's been a positive outcome. So why am I posting this blog?
Have any of you ever done a reality check and realized at the pessimistic, negative vibe that comes from so many of the posts? Now I realize that some blogs are a good place to voice your problems, vent, get the word out. However, has it ever occurred to any of my fellow bloggers that people of all ages read this/visit this site? How do we expect todays youth to make any changes if they are exposed to such hatred, vile remarks, negativity? I myself am guilty, I am not perfect, and have never claimed to be. I do my best to remain positive, even when I don't want to.
So, I am challenging each and every one of you...The next time you respond to a blog, post a comment that instead of being negtive, throwing out sarcastic remarks (as I have done sometimes way too often), or being just plain mean. Try turning it around, you can reply with the same comment and get your point across without being rude, ignorant and mean. Consider constructive criticism. Consider this...your child, grandchild, niece or nephew waltzes in and is checking out what you are doing. Or you have left this site open, and they are reading not only what you have written, but what others have. Is this what you want them to see you as?
That's my challenge to myself and others. I realize we can't change the world overnight. But we can start here. What do you, my fellow bloggers think?

May each of you take one day at a time. Enjoy your children, spouses and family. Never taking anything for granted. Life is short, life is what you make of it. Live every day like it's your last.
