Thinking Out Loud

Journaling vs Blog

3/7/2022

     I was recently reading a book where the character talked about having a journal.  She said that having a journal was better than a diary because having a diary meant you had to do daily entries. And that was too much.
    A diary is usually where you write down your day to day activities-what you did, what you didn't do.
  Journaling is more about recording your thoughts and feelings.  Journaling is less about "events" or your to dos.
    So....what is a blog?  I have operated a blog for several years.  It is not a diary-because I do not record something every day.  I would like to write every day but I'm always trying to think of topics.  I spend more time thinking about topics than writing about topics.  And, I do this blog for fun.  
    I read that journaling is for stress relief.  But then they said write every day....well, wouldn't that be stressful in itself?  and it would be very close to being a diary?  knowing you have to record your thoughts and feelings in a pretty little notebook EVERY day?  that is too much for me.   I will stick to this blog.  
     I guess you could say I do jot down my thoughts and feelings on certain subjects.  But not sure I can say that it is a stress-free task.  Of course, the actually writing is stress-free but the weeks, sometimes months, between entries are filled with stressing over what to write about next.
     So welcome to my non-diary, non-journal blog.  Now, I've got to run...I have got to think of a topic for next time.
