<span style="margin-left: 32px;">I</span> can&#8217;t believe it! My friend, &#8216;B&#8217;, had the idea of me creating this blog. &#8220;You have lots of writing which is just clogging up your computer. Get it out there and let people share it. And then you&#8217;ll find new things to write about. It&#8217;ll be great!&#8221;<br />
<span style="margin-left: 32px;">I</span> began very hesitantly. People seemed to enjoy my &#8220;computer-clogging&#8221; writing. And then when the computer was un-clogged, I wrote with more confidence, as the ideas occurred to me. I find that I view the world differently now that I blog. I really look at and observe what goes on around me. There are stories everywhere!<br />
<span style="margin-left: 32px;">These</span> are some of my blogs that have meant the most to me, since I began &#8216;ear &#8216;ear in March 2013&#8230;..</p>
<p>(Just click on the photo if you wish to view the full blog!)</p>

<p><strong>Slippery Fish</strong><br />
We are all creators! We create all the time.<br />
I give a laugh at Dejan Stojanovic. He sums up my thoughts completely when he says: &ldquo;Creating means living.&rdquo; &nbsp;www.earearblog.com/slippery-fish</p>

<p><strong>Twas the Night before Christmas</strong><br />
What were your childhood Christmases like?<br />
I&rsquo;m so lucky. For me, Christmas was the most magical, enchanting time.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;He who SMILES while crushing YOU&#8217;&nbsp;</strong><br />
Zuma&rsquo;s middle name is &ldquo;Gedleyihlekisa&rdquo; which means: &ldquo;He who smiles while crushing you.&rdquo; Indeed, he certainly seems to be smiling while crushing the life out of South Africa.</p>
<p>And I am whispering&#8230;.Madonsela for President!</p>

<p><strong>To Grow or Not to Grow&#8230;&#8230;?</strong><br />
I love this blog because of Matt&#8217;s letter in it. It is the most beautiful love letter I have ever received!</p>

<p><strong>Girls need not wear pink!&nbsp;</strong><br />
&#8220;If someone&#8217;s not a feminist, I ask why, what is your problem?&#8221; asks Dale Spence.<br />
What is your problem indeed, I echo?</p>

<p><strong>Defining Moments!</strong><br />
This blog will always be special to me. In it, it is Erin&#8217;s words to me that caused me to re-define myself. I have stopped asking the unanswerable: Why did God allow my accident to happen? Instead I ask with a smile: Why did God allow me to live?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Shocking!</strong><br />
I was so delighted with the NSPCA&#8217;s behaviour concerning the Knysna Elephant Park that this blog came into being. When wanting a photograph of Lawrence Anthony, I wrote to his widow, Francoise. I think a friendship is beginning to form between Francoise and I. I would like that!</p>

<p><strong>The Goddess of Rainbows!</strong><br />
On reading over all my blogs I was amazed at how my writing has improved. One looks at my first few blogs and then one reads this one. My writing skill is improving!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And finally how could I not include this!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.earearblog.com/the-wonder" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-293" src="https://www.earearblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/20130411-225343.jpg" alt="20130411-225343.jpg" width="150" height="113"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Wonder!</strong><br />
The second most life changing event of my 53 years!</p>
