My Therapy Session

I've discovered over this past year how important a journal is.  I've also discovered how important my Blog is.  What's the difference you ask?  Well, if anyone were to ready my personal journal they would think that I am married to the biggest asshole this side of the Mississippi!  When you read my Blog, I'm a little more laid back.  I bitch about politics, give updates on my kids, talk about relationships and friendships.  All things that I choose to just throw out there into the atmosphere.

Both things make me feel good.  Have you ever written in a journal or started a blog?  If you have an ounce of stress in your life.....lets see if I can make that more clear.  If you have a husband or a boyfriend, any children, a job, bills, friends, etc. you need to have a journal or a blog.  Trust me when I say this.  It can be liberating. 

Let's start with my personal journal.  Oh how I bitch and complain.  Seriously, when I write in my journal it's because I'm mad and seriously stressed about something.  Sometimes it's Scott and sometimes it's my family or even Paul.  There is ALOT of bitching about Paul.  But, that's to be expected.  Do you know how good it feels to just be able to write or type whatever you are really feeling because you know that you are the only one who will ever see it?  (Well, at least until you die and your kids snoop through your stuff, lol).  But seriously, it's like the cheapest therapy a person can get.

Now, on to the Blog.  It's a similar beast, but I don't just blurt out any old thing that crosses my ming.  I don't want everyone to think I am married to the biggest asshole this side of the Mississippi, because I'm not.  We all have our moments and I don't want to cloud anyone's judgement of my marriage because I'm having one of my temper tantrums.  So, I keep that for the journal and know that it's for my eyes only.

So, the Blog is something that you can share with your friends.  You can dish out your opinion, you can share information with your friends and family.  You can talk politics, whatever you please.  One of my co-workers wife had a link on her facebook to her mothers blog.  It was a beautiful blog with photo's of her home, and sweet stories about her family and grandchildren.  She's crafty so she had pictures of the neat things she has made.  I loved her blog, it was homey and warm, and loving.  A far cry from my Blog....but who am I kidding....this is ME!

So I'm enjoying my Blog.  I love bitching about politics and boy do I have alot to bitch about right now.  I'll get to that later.  I appreciate the opportunity to share my random thoughts and I have no idea if anyone reads them or not.  I just like putting them out there and it makes me feel better.
