I started thinking about this last night- this blog is becoming an escape for me.
My live journal, that's for talking about work and family. That's where I complain about the levels of frustration over the people I assist, my co-workers, and management. It is where I worry about my elderly aunt. That's for the occasional venting about the group of little old ladies that I belong to a fraternal organization with.
This blog, and thinking about what I'm going to post in it, it a small mental vacation from all those problems, big and small. I was at a meeting last night with the little old ladies, and while one was complaining about some problem with one of her children (who's older than I am), I had this little thought track in the back of my head wondering what I would post about today, and grabbing some of the little stories/scenes that I've got scattered through my electric life and posting them in the future. I wondered what I would find in my friends blogs too.
It made listening to her a lot easier.

When I started writing, I found myself analyzing everything. I would literally in the middle of a crisis and the back of my mind was looking and recording in case I ever needed material for a story about a car breaking down. I just about got that under control when blogging reawoke that Recording mode in my mind.
I'm catching a little bit of that now...
Jaenelle, writing my blog has been such a liberating experience that I can't imagine myself not doing it.
I hope you get as much out of it as I do!
