Kaarina (I love your name, by the way), actually, I started keeping "diaries" when I was just 12 years old (step-parent molestation and a house of alchohol abuse can really isolate a kid.....)
But, I am a word lover (although recently my ability to put two words together has declined, I fear....) and did find that just the act of penning my feelings was often a comfort.
Anyway, after about 25 semi-faithful diary-keeping years (with an occisioanl break to get married and divorced) I stopped again, as the current spouse sort of precludes just an indulgent and defiant activity. Hence,I have barely written 25 pages over the past 8 years.....maybe the thought of recording my own culpabilities has silenced me.....
This group and my secretary (0f all people) have gotten me talking and mirror-looking again (not counting the shrinks.....)....which is a good thing...Your comment about ending an entry on a positive note will stay with me,as that (I hope) will re-open this one thing I could ,again (I hope) do for myself....
Again, I ramble, my isolation from the outside world is bordering on unbearable....Thank you all so so much.
