I wanted to take just a second to blog about the fact that I went live on YouTube this morning while I fed the animals. Usually, I film short segments and cut them into little clips with closed captioning but I decided to film the whole thing today forcing me to talk even more than I usually do. Even when I’m not filming I talk to myself but it seems less crazy when I do it to the camera and if one or two people watch and find it worthy of their time that’s great.

I’ve never really been doing it for the likes but I have to admit that seeing notifications in the morning when I check my social media is quite exhilarating. It’s a mini rush until I find out that the notifications were for spam robots or people being rude. I know my content isn’t for everyone. It’s not particularly educational for anyone because I don’t describe any of the details or answer the questions that you might have about farming. It’s just me having a good time during my chores. If there’s an audience for that fine if there’s not it’s still more fun than talking to myself.

I wanted to share this particular video of my blogging because it’s another side of me that you might be interested in if you prefer to read things instead of watch them on YouTube. But then what are you doing watching this? I’ll tell you it’s the best of both worlds. You can read or you can watch me as I write my blog verbally.

I’ve been writing down my thoughts since I was about age 15 and I’m currently 60 so there’s a lot of my ramblings online. I hesitated before saying ramblings because some of them are more valuable than just me typing my usual stream of consciousness into the blog.

Suddenly a shocking moment of self-doubt came over me knocked the pride right out of my head and made me wonder whether or not I should publish this particular video or not. Where did that come from? I’ve been doing so well that not letting the negatives of my look and style stop me from sharing online. I hate that part of me.

I’m going to end this now and do a little editing thanks to the Grammarly tool which has been telling me all of my problems there in the background. I hope you see me soon
