To Blog

I have a perfectly good blog just sitting there, yet i don’t write. I certainly have plenty of opinions, ask my friends. I will endeavour to write more. It's not that i think the world needs another blogger, it doesn't, but it couldn’t hurt either. Writing down your thought has a therapeutic affect. Getting the concerns of the day off your chest and onto paper. Diaries and journals have been around for sometime, today paper gives way to digital but providing the same salutary effect. Allowing you to organize your thoughts into some semblance of coherence. Appearing on "paper", concerns take on a different perspective, being outside the author, no longer entirely theirs. In the case of public journals, the blog , we have an ecosystem of ideas, concerns and opinions being argued, refined or abandoned. A diversity of thought. Democracy, thrives on diversity, is made more resilient and healthier, just like a biological ecosystem. So more citizens engaged, in as many ways as possible with their communities is a good thing. That is a jumble of thoughts, ideas and possible directions for further posts.
