I had stopped blogging for a while. Some of it because I was busy. Some of it because of facebook. Most of it because it seems that when I sit down to write, my inner, deepest, thoughts come out. I try not to be too deep for people reading. But then sometimes I feel like, I'm writing for me and that audience of one that might happen upon the blog and think...wow I've felt that way before. Or, gee I never thought of that before.
I think this year, one of my goals is to write more, but to write a true journal. That means it might get ugly sometimes. That means it might be mushy and about my hubby or kids sometimes. Sometimes it might be so scattered you don't know really what I'm getting at.
I guess for me, I realize that the more I write the more I find myself. The more I know myself. For the past few months I've started living life, just going through the motions and I don't want to do that. I'm getting ready to do a study "The Intentional Woman". Actually I did it once before, but I'm going to set through the class with other women from our church. In a few weeks Chad will start teaching and Pastor will be preaching on "One Month To Live". I guess in preparation for these and in light of some other events, I have decided that I do my best being intentional and living life "1M2L" when I write about my life. That's what a journal's for, right?
So here I go again...letting the world back in and finding more of me in the process.

I have been thinking the same thing! It is my goal to embrace all parts of my life: the good, the bad, the ugly...AND the blessings! So likewise, I support you my dear friend! I look forward to growing with you this year.
I commited to blog 52 times this year myself. I also post it as a note on facebook. But I think I'm scared to be too real on these - if it was just me, myself and I - well I have journals like that and it can get ugly. But you're right - when I'm lost my writing helps me find my way.
