It's been a few months, but here I am, writing. I'm not sure why this is the moment. It could be related to my plan to clean my home from top to bottom today, and my desire to delay such plan. But I'm perfectly capable of procrastinating in other ways.
My dilemma is this. I want to write. I want to really explore some issues, some trickier than others. At the lighter end of the spectrum I want to guide myself through some should-be embarrassingly simple processes, like creating and keeping an organized home.
In other words, I want to write for myself, to put my inner-most thoughts into words, to reflect upon them. So the logical thing would seem to be to write in a private diary, not a public blog.
Yet I'm drawn to write in this forum. Why, I ask myself, would I want to do such a crazy thing? The answer I suppose is that I just might encounter some kindred souls. I have been so happily surprised to discover this intimate, supportive world. That and Blogger's handy formatting and pretty colours.
And yet, I've resisted it. Ultimately, I think I need to write for my eyes only.
Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving a message. There's a lot to be said for the support and feedback one gets from other bloggers, which a private diary can't provide. Use it like therapy. It's cheaper and I like to look back occasionally and see how far I've come. Good luck! M xxx

DeleteThanks for your visit and comment, KD. Sounds like you are doing some soul searching...hope it all works out for you in the best possible way. Since I jumped into the land of blogs five years ago, I've not regretted it. You do meet some wonderful people and even some who share similar interests, however esoteric they may be. All the best to you. Sara
