Getting active

Okay...

I've had this blog for some time...and added things from time to time, but it hasn't "called" me as my journal does.

However, over the last few months I've been getting "Google Alerts" for journal writing and therapeutic writing. There are almost daily listings of sites and blogs that mention something about the therapeutic value of writing. There's been a surge in the references to blogs and the benefits of them. So...I am jumping in with some renewed "juice" to do this with a little more ferver.

The differences that I see between journaling and blogging are that this allows for connecting and community, while journaling is personal, safe, and allows one to communicate more directly with one's soul. That has always been of more interest to me...or at least I thought so. I know, however, that community is also important to me...so perhaps there is room for both.

So I enter this arena now with humbleness and curiosity. I'm not sure how much I have to say...in public...but will give this an honest and genuine try.

Would love to hear from others who may be tip-toeing into blogging...and who already keep a journal. Thoughts?

So...this 'getting active' could be great fun.

Peace to all.

Hey Sue, as an avid reader of both blogs and journals, i can assure you that people such as myself enjoy reading from both forums. So my advice to you is just to continue to write - there will always be someone interested in what you have to say.
