What an adventure

 I've been trying to update for the last week or so but I've been unable to log in. If I wasn't such a geek I might have given up. But here I am (I was lucky enough to have an email with a link that worked. Its been like this since I went over to the new blogger. Just goes to show new is not always better. Its been a frustrating week. I've thought of lots of things to write but each idea has leached away when I couldn't get access to blogger. Not to worry I always think of something. At the end of last year I thought a bit of a change was in order. This blog is a little bit pointless as its only read by a very small, but select, group of people. I’m beginning to feel a little bored with writing about myself and my life. I’m not a natural diarist but a lot of the things I’ve written have been intended to help members of my family who, for one reason or another, haven’t been as happy as they might be. I titled this blog “Dance with Wolves” for two reasons: I had just seen the movie of the same name and I admired the “character” of the main character, if you see what I mean, and I also thought that the title summed up our collective experience of day to day life. There are a lot of “wolves” out there whose sole purpose is to make us upset, sad or angry (even suicidal). The wolves can be anything. Financial problems, marital problems, health problems – I’ve certainly written a lot about all three. There are many others things that can cause unhappiness; other people, institutions, age, attitudes, discriminations, etc the list is potentially endless.

I know what makes me happy and helps me dance with the wolves in my life but I’m interested in how other people cope with life. So I’ll be doing a bit of research and a bit of writing, with a little ranting here and there, – if I can access blogger!

Why do we look to the USA so much?
