So far, other than referencing previously written posts I haven’t gone back over and ready any of them again. Now I’m starting to want to.
When I was younger I kept a diary. I used to take out my old ones once in a while and read what I’d previously written. I guess it was a way to relive what had already happened. A way to remember and not to forget. I’ve been told that back home there is now a regular event where people read aloud from their old (or I guess current) diaries. Quite scary. Quite fascinating.
Though these posts thankfully aren’t of the same nature, it’s still a document of this journey and despite “only” having written these post for just over three months, I’m already starting to appreciate having a record of it. Something to refer back to. A bit of reassurance and motivation when the road seems a little too long and slow to travel (patience has never been my strong side).
When I’m tired and it’s late at night and I haven’t yet written my daily post I have at times wondered if embarking on documenting this is making the journey a little bit harder. The answer is ‘yes a little bit’, but there was and still is a reason why I’m writing them as Day 011 | To blog or not to blog talks about. And, though I’m not yet sure exactly what I’ll do with all of these posts at the end of the year, I will do something and am all ears for any ideas.
Tomorrow – Day 096 | Getting excited about four days off so I can work a little
