The good thing about blogging in a community is that your blog will not merely be words on the pages of a website but through the reciprocal actions of the community it will be transformed into a dynamic platform alive with interaction, learning and most of human connection.
So This blog I make now is an invitation to interact with me through "Snapshot Stories" Post a snapshot from your life and tell us the story behind the picture. Here's mine:
Last April my extended family and our respective children (21 persons in all) went out for a picnic day at the beach. After lunch as we were lounging outside the cottage I noticed all the kids stayed together in one side of the cottage the adults at the opposite side. You could literally see the generation gap from that view. The kids were also busy with their gadgets IPhone, IPad, etc so that our invitations to take a walk at the beach fell on deaf ears. Then on the beach we saw a volleyball and immediately I shouted "Dodge ball!" Soon my brothers and sisters and I were running, dodging and hitting each other with the ball like we were kids once more. We must have looked like we were having so much fun because suddenly out of the blue all our kids joined in and soon we were all playing like crazy.
That afternoon the line between parents and children, old and modern was blurred and we all become just one big happy family playing on the beach. If joy could be capture, frozen in time, this would be it...my snapshot. So the title I chose for this picture is "Happiness is ...dodgeball!"
What's your snapshot story?

@Elen Indeed it was one crazy afternoon and who would have guessed it turned out to be so fun and memorable from just one volleyball! Thanks for passing by. :)
@ Anah Sid You can't help but be mesmerized by the joy of family! Thanks for the like too! :)
@ Hi Grace thanks for sharing your virtual snapshot story with me! I like that a good laugh can come from a very unlikely source in your case a very cute caterpillar! Life can send us wonderful moments wrapped in unusual things! Love your story and your picture! :)
Haha, crazy moments :)) You really enjoyed it, i is obvious in the pic :)
You sound like a very active person with those hobbies and glad to know you gave up hunting because killing for sport when a lot of people are starving just does not add up for me anyways. I think the snapshot of your baby boy on your profile pic looks like a fine story to me!:)
Glad to share it Expector and btw congratulations for writing all those very informative blogs over the weekend! What a good read from you! Thanks! :)
Good idea! Thanks for sharing.

Family get together, moments of joy may they last forever.
