the good old days

[low_delta]

I went through a lot of my journal entries from 2001. A few things struck me.

I posted multiple times per day. Now it's only a couple of times a week.
I was much funnier and a better writer.
I struggled a lot, emotionally that year.
I was apparently a romantic guy. I wasn't aware of this.

As is obvious, I don't post much either. Somehow a lot of the stories I wanted to tell have been told. Really, how many times do you want to read about how to build a fence, or how beautiful the Ranch is in Spring?
Like you I think the quality of what I write is different, before I spent a lot of time and energy attempting to really tell a story, now I just chronicle what happened.

Hope your back is doing well!

I notice that when people ask me what I've been up to, I don't always have a good answer. It's all been seem and done before. And I now realize why older people seldom talked about what they'd been up to.

The back is... could be better. Not tons of pain - mostly numbness.

Every time. I understand how it gets old to WRITE about the same old same old over and over again, but some of us still like reading about it.

Thank You. That really is encouraging. :)
Story on this weekend pending.

YAY! I had an entry at some point where you posted the link to your DW, so I could just go poke it to get to you. I need to go back and find that.

I basically agree with Raven's take on that kind of posting.
