The Journal
A quick entry today. I have been doing a lot of writing, but not a lot of blogging. The winter months can be cold and stale at best, and there hasn’t been a lot to speak of in the way of topics whether they be personal observations or sports related. So from that perspective blogging has been a little quiescent.
The vast majority of writing that I have been doing over the last few weeks has involved some personal journaling. I have felt that the simple act of detaching myself from situations, looking at them from different angles, and simply reporting on them by way of journaling has been beneficial in an analytical setting. It’s not that there is anything new and exciting in my life – far from it, but in a general way of speaking it has helped me better evaluate certain situations in order to improve upon them at a later date. I don’t want to call it a self-improvement – a term I hate, but we all have our different methods of reviewing, reflecting, and game-planning going forward. Journaling is essentially reporting in that regard. Again – in general.
Most of what I’ve been writing has been personal in nature and, probably less even less worthily, no one would be interested in the writings anyway. I have no misgivings regarding any of my writing. It is done to help me re-evaluate certain concepts, ideas, and perhaps manifest a road map for what lays ahead. I don’t expect anyone to find it the least bit entertaining but, on the off chance they do, I am thankful they find it so. I don’t view it as some sort of middle age crisis type of thing. Rather, in recent years anyway, I have felt a shift in how things operate. A new outlook, and a new way of addressing certain situations. The LiveJournal helps me digest what has been, what is, and where it all might be heading. Even now I’m realizing that maybe I need to write a little more of these shorter public blog entries as opposed to more lengthy dissertations on either this or that? We’ll see what time restraints there are against making that a reality.
