The Lily Pad

As I posted on Saturday, I've decided to share some lines from my handwritten journal here on the blog. I realize that I am opening myself up to a lot by doing this, but please bear in mind that all of the lines shared here are random and you don't know the before, the after, or the context.  So they are random lines from a random place that I like the phrasing of or that just touches me. I think they maybe took a wrong turn or two while I was in a completely different state. This is as much a part of my journal as she is of me.  A little splash of mayhem. (written just below one of Madelyn's doodles) Full belly + stinky breath + wine drowsiness = Fabulous Night! Are you inclined to share bits from your journal?  Do so in the comments, or link to your own blog in the comments.

I started a blog so that I could express myself but all I really find myself doing is censoring what I put out there.  Thinking "nobody wants to read that" or "who cares?" so I've decided to take the pen to the paper and start journaling again, handwriting style.  It's cathartic and I don't have to censor myself.  What I'll be doing is pulling a few lines from the weeks journaling and sharing here. The lines I choose will probably just be things that I liked the wording of, or recurring thoughts, or epiphanies of the week and there won't be any context to accompany them.  Just take and enjoy them for what they are - random lines from a random place. If anybody wants to join, shout out and link up in the comments section and if there are enough, I'll start a linky party.  I think it'll be fun to see a slightly unedited side of us all. I'll post the first on Monday.
