so blogger was down for almost two days last week...for maintenance...as a start...but as the first day went by...maintenance turned to actual...problems...posts disappeared...no one could post new...unable to comment on blogs...blah blah blah...but what hit me as funny...was how bloggers reacted to the downtime...
i took it as a mandatory two days off from blogging...as i have this blog and my business blog "fabulous finds"...two days off was a welcome sight...
but...many bloggers were up in arms...threatening to leave blogger...annoyed that it was taking so long to fix...on and on...in over two years of blogging on blogger...i think this was the first downtime that i have experienced...which to me is pretty good...i think...
but it got me to thinking...of those things in our life...whether it is the routines...or actual tangible things that we rely on...on a day to day basis...and when that "thing"...whatever it may be...is not working...or that "person" we rely on over and over is not there...how do we react?
do we threaten to find a replacement? do we complain and complain without seeing through the eyes of the other side?
i know the feeling of "being replaced"...i know the feeling of someone only seeing things through their eyes..and not mine...and if anything...i am thankful for those feelings...because it helps me remember not to do the same thing to others...
when things are great...moving along nicely...it is easy to be kind...to be respectful...it is when things are not going our way...what is our mood...character...respect level to others...
blogger came back...fully restored...no posts were lost...just two days of being able to post new posts...all that chit chat...all those threats...for what? isn't blogger entitled to have a few bad days like the rest of us?
