Wisened? I'm not sure.
"Sugarhigh" commented on my recent blogiversary post wondering if I was going to comment on how one year in the blogosphere had changed me. Specifically, the question was whether it had wisened me.I don't know how to answer that. I've enjoyed the mental exercises and the meeting of new people. I've enjoyed writing and have fallen in love with the fiction exercises. I know that it has been good for my blood pressure and my marriage, as I no longer feel any need to discuss politics with Prince Charming.
However, I don't discuss current events with my family as much as I used to, and I miss that. My father, sister, and stepmother are very well-informed people who have very interesting outlooks and opinions.
But I don't think you could say it has wisened me. More like, it has kept my mental muscles in fighting condition.
