Not All About Me

 Although this is a personal blog, the things I write about are impressions and feelings that are universal to all.  It is not always about me.  Often, I wake up at 3 am and compelled to write about something.  Without hesitation, I yield to the mechanical biddings of the computer keystrokes, allowing the words to lead me to a final focus.  The end result, I did not plan to write but it is there.

 I often hear from others who read the blog that it helped them in some way.  In the most recent blog for instance, "A Lot of Hurt" I heard from a reader that it helped her understand how it must have felt for her own daughter to be in the throes of anxiety and despair.  I believe that the blog was written for that specific reader.  It is a ministry of sort to go through all the tangled emotions of pain and loss to reach a renewed perspective.

But I truly get it.  My blog is about learning solutions.  It is not enough to go through the angst but to find what we all want to see - hope, faith, resolve, and action.  I will prayerfully ask for guidance in this mind shift as I often do not write about myself and for myself.
