Blogs.... A Type of Journal?

At the beginning of this semester when we were given the task of keeping up with a blog, I never thought that I'd be able to consistently post something. In order to make sure that I would have enough posts by the end of the semester, I decided that I would blog Tuesday and Wednesday every week. At first, I thought that this was an unrealistic goal and there was no way that I would be able to keep up with it. As I continued through the semester, blogging became easier and it didn't seem like I was having to search as hard to find something to talk about. Thankfully, I have successfully made it through the semester and have learned a very important lesson. With the task of blogging, I thought it would be a complete waste of time, but I now understand how it has helped me. Regardless of whether I keep up with this blog in the future, I know now the importance of writing my thoughts down. A way that I can do this every week is to keep a journal. I'm sorry to say that I currently own 2 journals and use neither of them at all. I used to be much better about keeping a journal but since coming up here, I couldn't find the time to do it. If there's anything that I've learned from blogging, it's that I really do have the time; I just need to make writing in my journal a priority. I have a lot of spiritual experiences every week that I should be writing down to make sure that I can always remember them. Not only is writing in my journal just like blogging, I can also be more personal with what I say because I know I won't have other people reading it (like someone may be reading this right now). Overall, I'm very thankful for this opportunity to blog because it has taught me a great lesson and has motivated me to keep up with my journal after my Writing 150 class is over.
