Journaling

I never intended for this blog/ journal to end up being a poetry place.  But so far, things of nature have inspired me, and that is what has happened.

Since I am no longer sharing this blog with the public,  I can say and publish here pretty much whatever I want, though I would always be mindful that whatever is out there on the internet  with my name on it, is out there forever.

The thought in my mind for this blog for this year is that it will be a personal journal, and a place to record the happenings and especially the pictures that I want to keep and remember.   I no longer make photo albums, and rarely even get pictures developed from my digital camera.   But some family pictures need to be preserved somewhere,  so if I manage to get any of those,  this will be the place.

I have discovered that nowadays for most people, if one wants to show a picture of their family, or the new baby, or the wedding, or even recently,  a grandchild's sonogram!!---they simply get out their smart phone.  I have that kind of phone,  but have not gotten into using it to take pictures.

If poetry happens here,  that is fine too.  I am dedicated to whatever flows from the heart, soul, spirit, and living in that present moment.     If poetry is what emerges in my mind,  as I sit down to journal for the day, that will be okay.

I know there's a lot of it in there.   Maybe it has just been waiting for release.

I like that phrase as a title of something, perhaps a blog full of poetry---- Waiting for Release.
