I love the blog concept. Much to my wife's dismay, I am an open book. I far too often share more insight into my life than I should. I don't believe I am an exhibitionist in any sense and I know I hate reality TV, but for some reason, I like to share. I know I am blessed and maybe somehow, somewhere, someone is benefiting from my ramblings. I haven't blogged much mostly due to the fact that Sarah's Iphoto on her Mac isn't working and I, for one, believe a blog is less entertaining without pictures. I really need to get that fixed.
Since the first blog entry I created, I contemplated blogging over journal writing. I have always been an avid journal writer, but in the last two and a half years, since the inception of my blog, my journal has only collected dust when it used to collect thoughts. The problem with this is that there still are many things, thoughts, events, goals, dreams, etc., that I won't divulge to the public. I have had many experiences, callings, events and have met many great, and some not so great, people that I should be documenting.
Is it possible to maintain a journal and a blog? I believe it is. It will take some discipline, but it can be so. Honestly, I think a printed blog will be fantastic in hand with a written journal. I have recommitted myself to re-becoming an avid journal writer. I also commit to being a better blogger. I admit my efforts in both areas have been pretty pathetic. No excuses...Just do it!
