Up, Down and All Around

Thoughts on Blogging

It's been a little over three weeks since I started this personal blog, and I have to admit that it has changed the way I think about things.

It didn't start out this way, of course. But lately, when I'm gripped by some emotion or preoccupied by some random thought, I will suddenly find myself thinking, Hmmm... I'm going to have to post a blog entry about that.

Sometimes, the thought is so fleeting and my mind wanders away so quickly that by the time I'm in front of the computer, I've forgotten what it was that I wanted to blog about in the first place. There are times, though, when the idea just nibbles away at the back of my mind, almost to the point where I feel like it's nagging me to get online and post an entry.

I do find myself thinking a lot more these days. It might be that I now have more time on my hands, and therefore can easily find time for reflection. But something tells me that the habit of blogging has also managed to alter the way I deal with events, the way I sift through thoughts, and the way I process emotions.

Socrates did once say "The unexamined life is not worth living." Does that mean my life is now more worthy to be lived? Hah! Hardly. But it does make those quiet moments alone a lot more entertaining.
