Travel always allows me to put my life in perspective. Seeing different things and being around different people is very refreshing.It also makes the idea of "home" feel that much warmer. Familiar sight and sounds of NY await me.....last nite I return to something I hadn't done in a long time, writing in a journal. The last one I had was in heavy use around 2006. Then as online blogging entered the picture out went the physical journal. But I think I'll make a series effort to stay active with this journal. The physical act of writing to express your feelings can be very helpful. Yes, a person can write in CAPS and type out angry words, but to let it flow in writing with all its bad spelling, crossed out words and emotionally charged scribble is a great release. And re-reading it all later on allows you to see to a great degree what you were feeling.
Yeah, release it all into the air.Throw your hands up and let god take all that stress and all the burden away.I'm looking forward to going to church next week.I need some of that energy right now.As much as it feels like sooooo much has happened, the truth is that it's only March.The best is yet to come.

Writing in a journal is very cathartic... There's DEFINITELY something to be read in the way your pen strokes @ different times... The pressure put to the page... The concentration and manner in which you ACTUALLY take down your words...
Emotions can be read into someone's works (entries) much easier than in a typed blog... I can type out FUCK YOU! (not you... just for example) in a blog... But on my paper I can write it, underline it four times... make it take up an ENTIRE page and put so much pressure to the pen that it rips the paper.... That's the TRUE meaning of the word in the emotion and inflection that it was meant... not cold words on a blank screen...
Blogging is just another method of convienience(sp?) in the tech world. A convienience @ the cost of personalization and warmth. Like letter writing Vs. Emailing... I'd much rather get a handwritten letter...than a typed out email... makes you feel closer to the person.
Good luck in your journalling friend. Maybe that's where you'll put your most prized and treasured memories, thoughts, and perceptions of your surroundings and progress... Something that you can, someday, share w/ your wife or children... to show them how you've progressed to the person you are at that point...
... sorry for babbling... lol I just gotta say what I gotta say... I'm done censoring or truncating my words.
