Let Sleeping Children Lie
Kate
20:46h
Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2005 My sister will be hornswoggled when I tell her that today, our little Trinket did not wait to be laid down for a nap, but crawled under the blanket all by herself. Joan says, “What IS this? How come everybody but me can get that kid to sleep?” She and Gary are going through the kid-won’t-stay-in-bed times that most parents suffer sooner or later with their little ones. I’m working, best get back to it before Karen gets here after one, when she is going to do some housecleaning for us and I am going to make her some lunch.

I said sure and we had a nice chat by telephone. He'd done his homework, had read enough of the journal to ask pertinent questions about what it is I've been doing in these pages for the past two years. One of his queries was "Why do you do it?" -- the question online journallers probably most ask themselves, too. I didn't have a definitive answer, other than that it seems a natural extension of what I've always done since I was a wee brattie, and that is to write letters and keep journals. The web is just another tool to add to the ease of communication, that's all. Last night I was reading over at The Write Haven and came across the following list. These seem as good reasons to journal as any, whether privately or online, so I'm taking the liberty of re-posting them here ... The Physical Benefits of Journal Writing So write, it's good for you! Write some more! ... Link |
