Set my feet upon the road that leads me home,
let me walk as one fixed upon the goal,
even though I've got a thousand miles to go..."

Not a replacement
Does anyone else ever hate their blog? I've always tried to keep a journal and never been successful at it until this nice invention. Or at least it's been a long time since I was this good about putting things down in writing. But I've definitely discovered this is not a replacement for a good old private, handwritten journal. Here, since this thing is up for the entire world to see, I often find myself censoring my thoughts and feelings because I never really know who is reading and if they will be offended, or think less of me, or whatever because of what I write. So I recently resurrected my journal - one I bought for the climbing trip and wrote in only once. Blog, I'm not replacing you. I won't neglect you. But I can't tell you everything and I need a more private outlet. I knew you'd understand. And I don't really hate you, Blog. I kind of like you, a little. :)

Hear, hear. Ain't that the truth, though? Except that I never really had a journal. But I still find myself "friends-only"ing entries, and I've even made a couple of them private - and what's the point of that? I always think of a satirical comment I heard made about blogs: "I'm making this journal friends-only because I don't want the world to see what I'm writing, even though I'm posting it on the Internet."
The point being: Enjoy the return to the good ol' pen and paper! :)
