Update On Blog-Hopping For Daisy Mae And I
Hi everyone, Daisy Mae and I are here to update you on our Blog-hopping. Daisy Mae is over what she had and well I am 95% over what I had. Just when you think it’s over it comes back. Some of you may be able to relate to this. I have had this bad cold since I got my flu shot. Go figure.

I’m happy to say Daisy and I will be back to blog-hopping starting on January 7, 2018. Please be patient because it may take a few days to get to your blogs and answer your comments but I promise we will visit your blog.
Thank you all so much, Crystal and Daisy Mae.
Blogging advice! Part three – Making blogging easier!
JUST A NOTE…
Hello everyone, just a note to let you know I’m sorry if I don’t blog hop these next few weeks. You see I have come down with a bad cold that hit me all of a sudden so I’m taking it easy and taking each day as it comes. I hope to get back to blogging soon but just don’t know when that will be. I’ll try to answer comments as they come in but can’t promise anything. Daisy Mae says Meow.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

A Brief Overview Of How My Blog Began
Part of the Blogger Recognition Award, I have to tell the story of how your blog began. So the following is how my blog came about.
I started blogging because I wanted to have some fun and I was curious. I never realized how technical it would get but I must say I’ve had a lot of fun and met a lot of nice bloggers. Blogging didn’t come easy for me but once I got started, I learned a lot to get me through blogging.
My blog started out with the name COUNTRY LIVING. Then shortly there after, I renamed my blog to WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING). I started WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) in January of 2017. It’s been about 6 or 7 months now and I’m still having fun blogging. Not only have I met several nice people through blogging but I follow several different blogging sites.
After blogging for 3 months, I decided to start CRYSTAL’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE because I had so much fun blogging. I’ll talk about that blog in a separate post but since I started WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) has got 185+ followers since January. This really pleases me that I’ve reached this many followers and it’s all because of my faithful readers and followers.
My blog has pictures, posts and reblogs.
I’ve started taking a 14 day course in the Fundamentals of Blogging. After that, I’ll go from there.
Thanks to everyone who’s helped make my blog successful.

Choices: Good And Bad
Above are examples of choices. On the left, someone is choosing to go into the service and on the right a bear choosing to get something to eat in someone’s backyard. Both examples are risky choices.
We are given the ability to have choices to teach us responsibility. From a young age we are taught Right from wrong. When we get to our Pre-teen and teenage years, we choose for ourselves. Sometimes we make the right choice and sometimes we make the wrong choice. Sometimes we regret the bad choices we make.
So before we make a choice be sure to think it through before you choose to go that way. There is always a risk involved with whatever you choose but sometimes the risk pays off and sometimes it doesn’t.
If you don’t want to choose the wrong choice, here are some tips you can go by:
- Don’t hang out with the wrong crowd.
- Before making your choice think it through.
- Write the Pros down.
- Write the Cons down.
- Weigh the Pros and Cons.
You’ll find if you do some or all of these steps, it will help you make the best choice. However, remember animals don’t have this luxury.
