It’s good seeing blogger friends of mine. I am no longer as active in social activities as several years ago. Priorities change thus the change in my level of participation in blogging activities. I used to be an active blogger but these days my participation is limited to some memes, blogging contests and comments exchange challenges.

So whenever I get to see an old blogger friend in person, it gives me so much joy to reconnect with him/her. I like reminiscing about the good old times when there were only a handful of us active in money making blogging programs. And when there were only a number of us blogging day in and out. I also love the feeling of still knowing the person really well through the blog entries he/she has posted over the years. It’s like time stopped and it was just yesterday when we last saw each other.

I just feel sad that most bloggers I was close to are no longer blogging. I guess, like me, their priorities changed and blogging no longer has a place in their lives.

I wrote about looking for a new theme for this blog. I want a new one as this old one, as well as the previous one I used, no longer appeals to me. I want something new! I want a new one that will inspire me to write and write again.

So I found a blog designer willing to work with me on the theme I want. Just a simple one, nothing fancy for me.

Unfortunately, when I was ready to move forward, my budget was cut. I had to pay for an important expense for the little girl’s school so I told the blog designer to cancel my order. I felt bad as I already contacted her and I know that her creative mind already began working out the details in her head.

Anyway, it might take me a while to get that kind of budget again. I am getting antsy about changing my theme so I might work on a free theme and just work on it myself. Tweak a bit, get a free header, and then use it while I am saving up for the custom WordPress theme I want.
