I was reading this book, The Art of Taking It Easy by Brian King and in one of his chapters, he wrote about journaling and how that can increase your gratitude and in turn help you feel better and reduce your stress. I have been journaling for a good part of my life and I must admit I do enjoy the writing (or in this case, typing) down my thoughts and feelings. Having done the pen and paper method, I do quite enjoy reading back on what happened on that day so many years back. I do admit, some entries felt forced as I had felt that I must write something on that day. I must not miss a day!
I used to write regularly here as well and hey. Last entry was in 2021. And we are coming up to the end of 2025! So much things have happened and maybe, just maybe I will write about something that happened earlier. Be it while remembering the day or maybe just to journal.
In any case, I am rediscovering my love for reading and I have expanded my reading materials too. I am now reading a lot more of SingLit, Singapore Literature. I have been telling people it's more to reminisce of the times from when I was growing up. To be more in touch with the thoughts and ideas portrayed in the stories written when I was much younger. Funny, how I always feel I am older than my chronological age. And now with the physical ailments catching up on my mental age, I am definitely my age. Albeit, a tad bit older physically.
I hope to continue this journaling business and I hope with the blog just a link away on my gmail account, I will find the time to sit down, collect my thoughts and type away. For now, thank you. For giving me the attention. :)
