HI

HI - Forgot about this site as I normally use an offline 'journal' of sorts to do my mind dumping now. :) Maybe I can set this up as something else. Hmmm - we'll see. Maybe a place to show some of my crafty prowess - we'll see. :)

but for now - figured I should post a 3 1/2 year later...

HI

Intro and Whatnot

Just needed a place to post with no restrictions placed upon myself, no "target audience", no fear of rebuttal. This is my mind space and shall be used as such. Readers are welcome - those who wish to comment please feel free, but please keep the posts constructive and on the positive side. I tend to have a communication blockage when it comes to sharing anything that's not perky and happy, a part of me feels like I shouldn't be allowed to have the negative feelings. But I do - I'm human - we all are. :) but still, I need a place that's safe for me to mind dump. I cant promise propper punctuation or spelling or even paragraphs as this is meant as a place for me to release and not "publish" so I'll take liberty to just close my eyes and type without worrying about some specifics and details like those. We'll see how it goes though - I haven't had a place to mind dump in awhile that wasn't monitored by others, not that I think those others would criticize or anything like that, but it automatically puts up a block for me and I'm not able to properly release or work through what needs to be worked through. Hopefully i'll be able to maintain this blog - we'll see. I think I might have started one before, but it's gone along the wayside, perhaps doesn't even exist anymore. Idealy I'd like to start just randomly typing for 10 min at a time here and there. Back in school I had a teacher who used to make us journal for 5 minutes at the beginning of class. Our work was never read or judged as long as we put pen to paper for the alloted 5 minutes to start off class. I always enjoyed it. we were given a topic of the day (wonder if I can find something like that online somewhere) and could either write nonstop on that topic or on a new topic of our choosing. but when we blocked we were told to just keep writing something - anything just so long as we kept writing. I felt it was a great exercise. I used to write alot - I used to do alot of things I dont do anymore. Part of me having this blog is to find out what of those things I still want to do and desire to pick up again and what things were just passing fancy's. Perhaps I'll worth through why i did certain things and needed them in my life at that time and why I might still need or desire to have them in my life again. we'll see - who knows. Maybe i'll come up with snippets of writing topics and create my own topic of the day for myself - just things that pop into my head at odd times that I want to delve further into but haven't been able to for whatever reasons. Hmmm - just need a cup with a bunch of little pieces of blank papers in it and then a cup to put them in once I've come up with topics. then when I sit and want to write but dont have a topic on my mind at that time - I have something to start with and have a go with. Hmmm - Yup - i think that sounds like a fine idea (as my stepfather would say). We'll see how it goes. Just having a space to write is actually freeing and nice. Almost a safe haven as it were. Now if I can just get my son to sleep regularly, I might be able to get myself into a regular schedule with my own writings and mind dumps. :) Ah yes, the things that dreams are made of. There's always hope though y'know.
So there's my intro for myself and whomever decides to start reading my drivel.
it's almost 4pm on an overcast type breezy day. we had thunder storms earlier. those are things I'm going to miss about georgia - just dont have those much on the west coast. :)
TA!
