I haven’t been part of the blogging community for very long, actually I was fighting it for quite a while, since my dear BFG was hazzling me so much to start a blog (I don’t like being told what to do :-P , but I do have to say that I’ve found this very rewarding.
I’ve been converted … arrgh!!

It is a great way of grappling with ideas, even without other people commenting. Writing down what goes through my head has helped me to better understand what I’m thinking and feeling (I tend to be a bit flustered and confused) and to see where I’m wrong or where I don’t actually mean what I say, cause after reading what I’ve written I’d sometimes go back and change things because I couldn’t actually agree with my own words anymore.
Also when you’re flustered like I am and find it hard to concentrate let alone on tricky things like emotions the process of writing it down has been wonderfully rewarding.

And with comments and other people questioning my thinking it has been even more beneficial, since it forces me to really examine what I’m trying to say.
So Thank you for all your comments!!
And Thank you!, BFG, for pestering me about starting a blog!
