susandennisThis may be a fine line but I don't really consider this a blog. I think of this as an old fashioned What Did I Do Today, What Do I think About Stuff journal. Not in a scribbled scrawl on a page but in a digital version.
Long ago I used to keep hand written journals. I found it was a good way to organize my thoughts and figure them out. No one every saw them but me until one day... a guy I was seeing came to me and told me he had read them. He told me because he wanted to take issue with some of the things I had written.
Yeah, yeah, I took out the big eraser to that relationship BUT, I also quit writing in journals. Until I found Live Journal.
I truly love and appreciate and am so very grateful for all of the wonderful feedback and comments I get. Funny how one reader shut me down years ago and now I crave readers. Ha!
I got a new one last night.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nan58 found me while 'thumbing' through the directory and I'm delighted. She left a comment and I followed her links and discovered that she lives in exactly the same town where my brother has his shop!! Turns out she works very close to it. How cool is that?????!!
On a day to day basis, I do not interact with many people at all. I can usually count the number on one hand. But, through the magic that is this journal, I can wallow in the crowds and no one cares if I have a coffee stain on my shirt. It's wonderful. Thank you.
p.s. The original journal reading dude later married my boss (after he divorced his wife - yeah, our relationship sucked in many ways). He contacted me about five or so years ago and then quickly added me to his email list on all kinds of political crap. I sent him my "please don't send me spam" email and got a tirade back about how his insights weren't spam. What a prince. Happily, I have not heard from him since.
