I usually wait until I get on the computer before I engage in any writing. That includes personal correspondence and blogging, although I keep a paper journal for portability, and because, sometimes, things are just too personal to put in a blog. And, as the reader may realize, I put a lot of personal stuff in my blog.
I short while ago, I started using my journal more regularly. This is typical for me. I have journaled since high school, and it is an on-again off-again activity. I have a large box full of journals! They are not for anyone to read but me. But I am glad I have them.
Just the last couple of days, I was thinking about how much I miss writing letters by long hand. But, there was no one to write to, or so I thought. Today, I received a note and yearly update in the mail from a colleague and ex-co-worker. I could not recall if I had responded to her note from last spring or not, so I decided to sit down today, while I had time, and write to her. I have some really nice, smooth writing pens, mostly gifts, which I really appreciate. I chose one and found myself closing a 10 page letter, shortening the last few items, quite some time later! I really did enjoy writing long hand. I need to remember to do that more often.
