8/29/2018 Caring Bridge

Journal entry by Joanne Negstad — 14 minutes ago
     Writing this daily blog has become a part of my routine.  There are times when I wonder why I do it, and, if it is helpful.  It's not my intention to wallow in sadness. But, it's been my sense that, at some deep level, it is helpful to me.  Much of the time these posts 'write themselves,' yet that's not always the case. Today I had an 'aha' moment and it came via email.
     A friend, L L, sent me this quote.
 "All sorrows can be bourne if you tell a story about them."   Karen Blixen
This really resonated with me.  Posting on this blog regularly has indeed helped me bear my sorrow.  The only thing I'd change in Blixen's quote is changing "story" to "stories."  There have been stories and their will be more.

Blessings,

Al
