Blog Six-Pack Picks

Joe, Journals editor here at AOL Journals, has started a new way for us to find new journals. He asked us to name six blogs we like, dislike, whatever. I could easily have named ten or twenty, but was limited to six. My apologies to those of you who I regularly visit but did not put here. When he does it again, I am sure to add another six, different from these. My choices include those I find to be educational as well as personal. Keep in mind, these are not all the journals I enjoy reading, and will recommend others at the next go round of Blog Six Pack Picks.

http://journals.aol.com/daddyleer/CaregivinglyYours/ Patrick. I find his observations on living with MS to be objective and humorous, sometimes biting, sometimes tickling. His entries are thoughtful, educating the rest of us on what it's like to live in this society and deal with all the trials and tribulations of his beloved wife's illness.

http://outmavarin.blogspot.com/ Karen. Another writer who is soon going to be on the market. A sample of her first novel is available online. Visit her site to find out all the details. She is witty, a humorist, a fantasy expert, and a teacher at heart.

http://journals.aol.com/lurkynat/Interface/ Natalie. Another teacher at heart, Natalie observes the world, and asks us to think about what's going on around us. She always ends her entries with a thoughtful question. She loves interacting with Journalers. Her father recently passed away after suffering from Alzheimer's for a long time.

The following journalers are teachers professionally. I only recently met them, and we keep in touch on a regular basis. If you want to read what teachers do and think when they are not in the classroom, stop by their web sites. I love hearing from them and visiting them.

http://journals.aol.com/INAFRNZ247/Reflections/ Michelle, she recently lost her Nana to Alzheimer's.

http://journals.aol.com/hillareeday/Serendipity/ Angie, her journal is kind of like mine. Some entries are about school, and some are about her family. Others are just for fun in response to assignments.

http://journals.aol.com/sunnyside46/MidlifeMusings Marti, she tells the greatest porch stories!
