Blogging as Therapy

 It does my soul good to blog my thoughts. A diary is helpful but if someone can find and see a reflection in their own life, and work through stuff as I do, then it's better than a diary.

A sign on one of my doors says "I'm not saying it's going to be easy, I'm saying it's going to be worth it." That's worth remembering when a day feels like it may not be worth much. In time I may see the worthiness of whatever's happening but I can pretty much say at the time, not so much. 

So, I move forward the best I can...one step, one step, one step. It's made me see small things I would have missed otherwise such as how a gourd seedling will stand up to attention after wilting once watered. Really, you can watch that happen!  It's slow, but when life needs to be slow, watching without a timetable allows the freedom for observation, careful slow observation.

I hope you get to observe some small event today with no agenda or purpose. Just watch and take note.
