On occasion, someone will
ask me why I “bother” with writing these daily blogs. Well, for one thing, this is old
behavior. I started writing pencil and
ink journals at the age of nineteen. I
initially wrote my way out of a long and severe depression. Those journals eventually transformed into my
daily blogs.
I have been writing all
these years for the same reason: I need to write errant thoughts out of my
system so they don’t stick around, purposely planting weeds and starting spot
fires in my thinking.

As a Psych nurse, that's Psych 101. Wish more of my former patients would have taken the advice I gave daily at work....JOURNAL.
ReplyDeleteI am glad and am blessed that you share so much of yourself with us. And I envy your imagination, discipline, persistence and writing skills. You're a great role model for a writer. Keep up the best legacy you can leave behind -- yourself. How's that book of blogs and photography coming along?
ReplyDeleteThanks, to both of you for being readers! Writing a journal DOES help! Thanks for all the encouragement, Ariel, and for the heads-up on mistakes!
