Musings about journaling/blogging

I started this blog in May but obviously it has not become part of my normal routine since it is now July 27 and this is just my third post. I realize now that I am a pen and paper journalist. I was trying to make myself an online journalist but nothing was getting written to the blog. Through the years, I have journaled consistently, filling many notebooks with my thoughts. I go through cycles where I journal daily or weekly for months or years and then I stop. The reasons for stopping vary. One time I started an exercise class during the time when I was journaling. Another time, my sleep habit changed so I no longer journaled before going to sleep at night. Whatever the reason for stopping, I eventually go back to putting thoughts down on paper. Sometimes, I will then type my thoughts and edit them as needed. I made a decision that this is what I need to do for my blog. I will keep a written journal and then type/edit it into this blog space.
