Hello ... Me?

"I doubt anyone reads this blog, but that's not the point. I'm seeing my own thoughts in print. I can go back when I'm in a different mood and read them again. I can remind myself what I was feeling and understanding. It's almost like reading someone else's thoughts, because I rarely remember fully what I've written."

I haven't blogged in quite awhile, but I took time to go back and read my past blogs. It's amazing that I truly don't remember writing any of those things! If I were to write a song, or a poem ... or maybe even a story, I would be able to read along, and know what was coming next. But with these old blogs, I literally have no idea what I'm about to read, or how it will affect me.

I was, however reminded of the place I was at during those blogs. They reminded me of what I was feeling, and most importantly, what I was attempting to change. And actually, that's exactly what they were meant to do. The quote above is from one of the blogs. I wonder if I knew then, how true those words would be today?

If you're reading this, I encourage you to find a writing outlet. You don't have to be a great writer ... you just have to be honest with yourself. I try to write with the idea that no one will ever read my words, because if I anticipate someone reading them, I'll be more likely to edit or omit things that will be important later on.

Looking back on my words from a year ago and further back, reminds me that I still have a goal to accomplish. I'm able to ask myself, "How are you doing with that goal? Have you done anything to move forward, or were your words just for show? What can you do today, to change your life tomorrow?"

All of which, are very important questions to ask yourself each day.
