I just had an epiphany.

I just realized why I write in this stupid blog. It makes me feel better. I have been in a funk today and after I wrote the last entry, I felt better. I couldn't figure out why at first, but I realize now that writing here helps me work out the jumbled mess in my head. It even makes me feel better when I'm already feeling good. I have half of a fiction book written, but fiction doesn't make me feel better, blogging does. Real life. Real problems. Real thoughts. Of course I can't write everything publicly, so I keep a private journal too, but I understand now. Some people meditate, some people run, others make music. I blog. I'm not the best blogger, I'm not even a good blogger, but I do it because I need to.

I have something I really want to say. But not now. It probably isn't what you are thinking. One of these days, though, I will. You can bet on it.

  1. I read the last several blogs, including the most recent one liner. Hope the dream is a good one, BTW. Hopefully you will come to write about that too, in time. I just wanted to encourage you to continue writing. Maybe it is my turn to be encouraged by your blogs. We seem to alternate... or used to. I have so got to get off my butt and write. Soon... hopefully soon.
