I was doing a standard “Look yourself up on Google for kicks and inaccuracies” today and my #1 hit is my old blog on Blogger. This blog started back in June of 2005 and went around 90 posts a year (pretty good) for ’05 and ’06, but due to the business of life, ’07 saw 10 posts.
It’s great to go back in time and see what you wrote and how you wrote it, to see how you have changed over the years. People who journal seem to get this idea and they are really keen on it. Ironically enough, I just can’t commit to writing in a book – I blank every time – but the internet? pass the keyboard. In this most current look-through, I can see how I felt, how I came about answers, and how wrong I was about so many things (unlike now, where everything I write is clearly Holy Writ).
One thing I did notice, however, on the older blog, is that I used to write prayers for myself and others. I think I might start doing that again.
Moral of the Story: Keep your old writing – you’ll always get something out of it, even if it’s only humiliation.

It’s funny because I went to your old blog and ended up reading a bunch of your older posts. I hope one day I will be able to look back on my older posts and get something out of them (hopefully not humiliation, but most likely).
