I've been enjoying writing my blog everyday.  I've always been a writer and, for years, I have been in the habit of writing first thing in the morning.  However, that writing was always just for my eyes, an opportunity to expunge my mind of any early morning thoughts and feelings.  This daily blog is up for any eyes to see what I am feeling and thinking and pondering on a daily basis.

This year, when I decided to blog every morning, Monday through Friday, I wasn't sure what the disciplined experience would bring to me.  Perhaps it would simply be one more thing that I "had to get done" in my day.  Pleasantly, that has not been the case.  I look forward to my blog.  I have an eager anticipation of what I will write as I watch the sun lighting up the canyon walls visible through the office window.  I suppose it is because I am writing this blog much as I write in my daily journal, simply from a stream of consciousness with very little editing.  I am putting myself, my inner world and feelings, into a digital format, not knowing who reads it.  It makes me smile.  Ultimately, I feel a certain satisfaction and even happiness from this writing exercise.  

If you are reading this now and ever thought about writing for yourself, to express your own feelings and thoughts, I highly recommend it as a tool for creative expression and mental clarity.  Whether anyone else reads it or not, the words that you write, tell you a great deal about where you are mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
