I can be scattered and random....maybe that is just the unavoidable destiny of my journaling, too!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-78661100464537580342012-09-28T08:49:09.901-06:002012-09-28T08:49:09.901-06:00Writing has always been therapeutic for me in that...Writing has always been therapeutic for me in that way.

In fact over the years I've destroyed a few journals, or at least ripped out pages, because of this. (I didn't want anyone to read my melodramatic love poems for the neighbor boy, etc) I've realized though that I don't write anything I'd be ashamed for the world to know. So I don't destroy them any more. <br /><br />Your neighbor's history would have been an interesting read I bet. Maybe it would have been too hard on her daughter to read it. I should think it would have been a treasure to her though, but grief does things we can't explain sometimes.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-48917703173433357822012-09-28T08:42:13.100-06:002012-09-28T08:42:13.100-06:00That is totally what it is that get jotted down, i...That is totally what it is that get jotted down, isn't it.

Sometimes things said in blog posts pique my interest and I write a long essay for my eyes only about personal thoughts and opinions about the topic. I put lots of quotes from books read. Magazine pictures, random articles. I find it a wonderful way to untangle particularly thorny or emotional processes. :)Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-36947421453925150432012-09-20T14:29:04.826-06:002012-09-20T14:29:04.826-06:00My neighbor who died at 94 kept a journal every da...My neighbor who died at 94 kept a journal every day with things like you have, but with a record of where she went, who she saw, from whom she got a letter, bits of news, who had a baby, the name, all sorts of innocuous tidbits, things that made her life. She kept these for at least 25 years, starting a new one each year. When she died, her daughter said she burned them because that "stuff was no one's business." I wanted to cry. Tell Matt not to burn your journals! Well, unless you want him to.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-9046380982003910922012-09-20T13:51:59.233-06:002012-09-20T13:51:59.233-06:00Watch your mailbox..., goodies coming your way.
