"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Song of the day:
"This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again"
- Skyfall Sountrack, Adele

Well, I have done it! We have reached the end of #blogjune, a little experiment of daily blogging that rekindled my love for writing and creating blogs about things that I am passionate about. Some people say; "it doesn't really matter if you have a large number of people following your page or not", but it does make a difference in knowing at least some people have been reading my little daily scribbles.

Thirty times I sat down behind my desk, on these cold kiwi winter mornings, thinking about a topic. Some came easily, I just looked around my office at all my stuff and started typing away. Others were a bit deeper, dealing with memories from my past, using my old journals. I believe these blogs should have a personal value, but should also entertain the reader. If I can reach out to just a few people and put a smile on their face or make them think or remember something from their life, than I have done my duty and can go home and sleep well.
