Today I fell into the depths of blogs past. It's fascinating to see what I was interested in, reading, doing, thinking...all those years ago. Some of those feelings are still so tangible, while others have fallen to the wayside.
In one post, lamenting my broken heart, I say "I still remember that one birthday I spent with him".
That statement isn't true anymore. I wonder why that day was important to me then, and why it's not now.
I also dutifully tracked things I was thankful for. Once a week, I posted a short little entry, a list of things that I needed to take an extra moment to be grateful for. And I liked it. I remember the feelings that were stirred in me as I enumerated the little, and the big, things that were good in my life. And I liked re-reading them, all these years later. Some are vague, like "friends"; others are specific, like "the harry potter soundtrack". I am thankful that my past self has so well documented these things.
Expect to see some thankful... posts about once a week.
