For as long as I can remember, I’ve kept some sort of journal, a grateful journal, an exercise journal, a food journal, a happiness project journal and so on. I love reading other people’s blogs and even their Facebook posts. I truly enjoy conversations with people, especially those who at first glance are different from me. I love to hear perspectives and opinions that make me think of something in a new way…and of course, I like to give my opinion!
Then one day a friend said in passing, maybe some day you’ll write a blog. My first thought was that would be so fun. My second thought was who the hell would read it? I decided it’s really just a new format for my journal. When the mood strikes me I’m going to write about what’s on my mind. It will be a nice record of what’s going on and what I’m thinking about. Maybe if someone takes the time to read it, it may make them smile, nod along in agreement, shake their head in disagreement or even comment and converse. How cool would that be?!
