Connections

31 October 2013 Journal Pages

One of the things that has been running through my head lately is the word, "connections." Journaling (to me) is very much so about making connections with ourselves as well as reaching out to those around us. It's about finding, documenting, exploring, creating and just being.

I am grateful for the journal keepers before me who have taken the time to write down their thoughts and feelings. I am grateful for the folks who took the time to preserve and publish these volumes making them available for folks like you and I to read, ponder and possibly identify with. I am grateful for thoughts like these that make me feel less alone:

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”-Frida Kahlo
