Why I keep writing.....

I have always been a "writer" I suppose in a real sense.....I never used it for anything but life stuff, letter and diary writing mostly.....but writing was my forever outlet....I have written about becoming enamored with words early on in my life......learning to read, and feeling it was magic.....and being curious about all things language.....my favorite class in high school was an English class.......diving more deeply into grammar, and the origin of words.....I know word nerd stuff right lol:) and in college......I had a writing class, where the process of writing was really examined fully, and I remember feeling really captivated by it all.....and I love teaching writing....perhaps I missed a calling as an English teacher lol:) But just like working out, and meditating have become daily practices to let some energy out, and balance my emotional life......writing is too....sometimes a completely new topic emerges, and sometimes I circle back to the ones that need more examining or unraveling....and sometimes this is a place to revel in our life's journey.....documenting our adventures.....lamenting some if the situation calls.....or offering some kind of hope or insight that I hope helps another person not feel alone.....and I have written nearly 2,000 blog entries....today is 1,756.......and when I reach that, it will be around when this new life began.....a milestone I would say....and what I like about writing, is it is energetic too....words hold energy and power....the power to evoke a feeling.......and often times it speaks life into my dreams, and I believe helps them come closer to me.....I have most definitely crossed over a threshold lately....a new space is opening up.....I am seeing with new eyes, eyes WIDE open.....and I can feel it so completely.....so I am examining where to take my blog.....I love it too much to give it up at this point....and it continues to save me and I continue to get messages about it....somebody expressing themself through my words, so I will continue to write daily as long as it feels like me, and makes sense.....but I do want to write about some new things.....we went to Sam's Point yesterday and it was the most magnificent view.....like just spectacular......such a gorgeous day! And we deeply enjoyed it all! Then came home and vegged out a bit....My daughter expressing wanting to in the car and my boy....I love that we are all so similar....happy to adventure, but also loving our home and hanging party of 3.....my boy did Warrior fest on Saturday and we had the football game, and he got to go to the dance, which he loved:) My girl brought a new friend to hang with at the game.....so we had a busy weekend, that needed some rest yesterday afternoon, and it was perfection:) So I suppose I still write, and will continue to because it helps me make sense of the things that visit my life....what spins within.......and the expression of it feels like art to me some days....flowing from my fingertips, and taking on a life of its own:) I have such big goals related to writing that I know will take root when they are supposed to.....taking my words and expressions to the places they are supposed to be! Happy Monday:) Enjoy the day!
