I do think it helps us all understand each other when we can see the inner workings of someone else's thought processes.

I write as a way of processing what is going on in my life and challenging myself to think about things more deeply. For many years, I just kept a private journal. I think my impulse to share that thinking in a blog was inspired by reading the journals of May Sarton -- like so many other people, I found her thoughts about her own life Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-5402541068397264002014-08-05T15:12:36.108-04:002014-08-05T15:12:36.108-04:00I have always kept a diary but thing blogs are bet...I have always kept a diary but thing blogs are better because of the editing factor and, of course, the occasional reader that comes along, like you. For someone who has never done a diary you sure are doing great with your blog! I have all my diaries, going back to 10 year old. I thinking of editing them to a self-published book for just me to enjoy, get rid of all the stupid stuff.

I tried back when I was young and again in high school ... those little locking books were so cute .... but it never lasted. I have friends who have kept diaries or journals and still have them all!

I really don't like horror fiction but his characters sure do say some great stuff and the more you read Stephen King quotes the more you realize how smart this guy really is about humanMisadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-58650152508533755232014-08-04T19:08:54.691-04:002014-08-04T19:08:54.691-04:00This post really touched me.

Now,I have to write to get all the insane stuff out of my mind. Once it is down on "paper", then I can kind of forget about it, of at least quit letting it roll around in my head all night.. I would rather write non-fiction stuff however--so much more fun. I never say, "Sorry for your loss," because someone Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.com
