Journaling...

I've never been one to journal...many people have told me that it is good therapy and that I should put my thoughts down on paper...but to me, it has always been just one more thing to start, and not finish!!  I have so many beautiful journals that I write in for a while and then put them on a shelf...but I am always looking at them in stores...such beautiful paper and designs and textures...I love journals, I just don't like to commit to them.  Maybe because I get to a certain point where I must start writing my true feelings, and I just don't want to "go there".

When my husband, Michael, was sick I started a blog for him so that everyone we knew, near and far, could keep up with his progress without having to call too often.  That "journal" was divided between the two of us...he wrote in it when he felt well enough, and discovered an inner "writer" and kept us all entertained (he was like that...keeping us all entertained) and I wrote in it when he was too tired, or too sick to do so...

I discovered I liked blogging better than journaling...perhaps because it was more about Michael and what was happening with him than it was about ME and my inner thoughts and feelings!!

Now as I begin the quest to find ME, I know that I have to get these thoughts and feelings out before I can find what is underneath all that "stuff"...so rather than "journal" I will "blog" and see where the road takes ME...Hang on, it could be a crazy ride!!!!!
