I think it's really great that we have this clever Internet technology. But without the PEOPLE to connect to, it would be an empty exercise. Folks who aren't involved online tend to think it is not POSSIBLE to make friends with folks you have never met in PERSON. I PROBABLY felt the same before I began blogging. But now I find that my PEEPS are all over the world!
Here are some PEOPLE songs:
People by Shirley Bassey
People Are Strange by the Doors
People Get Ready by the Impressions
People Got to be Free by the Rascals
People are more important than rules. There is a tendency in my country to think that rules and laws ought to come first and that people have to be subjected to them even if they are cruel. I noticed that it is wonderful when people care and show that they are really interested in each other. I met four bloggers personally and I had the feeling that I have known them all my life. It was great meeting them, and I hope to meet more bloggers in the future.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. I have met some wonderful people through blogging, many of whom I've now connected with on facebook, and one of whom I spent a few days with in Venice one year. It is a real community. I have found deep caring and genuine interest in each other's lives. Excellent post!!

ReplyDeleteI have made many blog friends who have become true friends. I spent a weekend with one of them when I visited the UK last year, and tomorrow I have lunch with another friend I met through blogging.

P is for people, people are presentable and we at times become good pals. Playing the rest of the life together. P is for prefect. Life may not be the the people in our lives make the life perfect. So happy P week everyone.

Life has settled down again, so I'm happy to join in the ABC family to finish the round. People, it's what makes the world go round.
ReplyDeleteno wonder its so popular. Happy ABCers one and all
ReplyDeleteAll true, Roger. I have met many wonderful people through blogging.
ReplyDeleteI have meet so many great people through blogging too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post for P. I never understood meeting people through the internet until I did so myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're one of my favourite "peeps" now, too, even though we haven't met face to face YET! I'm going to meet Mrs. Nesbitt this summer along with a few other bloggers in England and I'm SO excited. One of my best new friends is a lady in Wales I met in 2006 when I was last there. I cannot imagine NOT having the internet now with its capability of making the world a smaller and friendlier place.
ReplyDeleteI agree so much Roger. We live in an isolated village,quite remote but I never feel lonely. I feel I have many genuine good friends and I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the lovely people I have come to know and love - and their circumstances and family concerns too. I count you amongst them - as I said, with pride and fondness.
ReplyDeleteAlways as soon as you log in you know that you have immediate contact with people all over the world - and it is great to catch up and share news - turns rainy days into sunny days !! Thanks Roger
ReplyDeleteI have a delicious P waiting for you at my site.

No doubt, the Door's "People Are Strange" is a classic...talk about a blast from the past!
ReplyDeleteI too, share the same sentiment here-I am thrilled to have so many friends around the world sharing bits and pieces of our lives. I always look forward to this weekly post not knowing what to expect and what new things I will learn. I certainly feel much more connected because of this wonderful meme full of incredible people.
Oh yes, the people I have "met" online and the bloggers I have actually met in person, have made a great impact on my life. P is definitely for people!

Your excellent post makes a lot of sense. Life is greatly enhanced by the variety of people around us. So many of our daily interactions gain meaning through their responses.
ReplyDeletePeace to all the nice people I've met through ABC Wednesday over the years.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are Roger. Since I started blogging just over a year ago, I have made some wonderful friends including a few right here in this group. Here's to another fantastic week everyone!

Big fan of the peeps too! Thanks!
ReplyDeletePeople are perfect for the letter P.
ReplyDeleteThe Doors were one of my favourite groups and people are strange was a good song.
ReplyDeletePerfect post- love that photo- is it of your friends or is it a stock photo?- good angle.

ReplyDeleteIt takes all of us People to make this world - great post!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
A particularly fine PEEP, Roger!
