BLOGGING - THE NEW SOAP OPERA

I'm not much of a television watcher. I like Good Morning America, Dateline, Barbara Walter's specials, 60 Minutes and shows like that. I do watch Dancing With The Stars and I love Grey's Anatomy. Other than those few shows, I'd rather read a book or spend my extra time on the computer.

I'm definitely not a soap opera watcher, but I was when I was much, much younger. My Mom still watches them and it amazes me that I can still remember some of the character's names, etc. I bet I could pick right up where I left off 20 plus years ago.

Here's how they describe a soap opera when I looked it up the web:
A soap opera is an ongoing, episodic work of fiction, usually broadcast on television or radio. The main characteristics that define soap operas are "an emphasis on family life, personal relationships, sexual dramas, emotional and moral conflicts; some coverage of topical issues; set in familiar domestic interiors with only occasional excursions into new locations."


I looked it up since I've been thinking lately how much I enjoy this whole world of blogging. It reminds me a bit of soap operas. And I mean that in the nicest of ways. We tune in every day to see what's happening with a whole cast of characters. We get to vicariously become a part of other people's worlds. We get to learn about them and they us. It's fun. We get to pray for each other, laugh with each other, learn from each other. I like it alot.

Thanks to all my blogging friends for tuning in to "As My World Turns"...let's remember to just follow the "Guiding Light"...let's be "Bold and Beautiful"....let's talk about "All My Children"...afterall, we only have "One Life to Live"...we're "Young and Restless"....we're full of "Passions"...let's talk about the "Days of Our Lives"...and let's hope we don't have to go to "General Hospital".
