I always have these debates about doing a private blog. I do use my blog as a journal of sorts. It is a public journal. Although I have posted blogs that are very personal and display a lot of my inner self, I do still know this is public and so therefore hold back or don’t post everything. But I’m a lousy journal writer. Yes, I have a journal in my nightstand and I probably write it in about 4-8 times a year. Usually when I’m really upset and need to let it all out. But I realize that I should do better at just writing out my thoughts and using journaling to clear my head. Problem being when do I make time to do this. Often I write my blogs from my phone as I nurse Eli. But last Sunday, I taught a lesson from Nephi when he was having a discouraging time. One of the points was that he took time to write. Now for the lesson this was a fairly minor point. But for me, it really struck a cord. I find that I’m easily overwhelmed lately and need to find more ways to release stress and anger. I say anger and don’t mean I’m an angry person. But I find with my hormones out of whack still that I get anger or down a lot more easily than when I’m level. And since I’m still nursing, well yeah I’m still outta whack. So yes this is why I need a private blog. So I can ramble like this and not have to proofread before posting! I believe I will try it. Worst case scenario, I don’t ever post to it either! hehe

You could keep this blog public, and then start a private blog/journal to keep your thoughts...that's sorta what we do_A
Go for it! And don't feel guilty about the hard copy journal. After all, it is not like we live in pioneer times. Why should we write like them? I bet the pioneers would have loved to toss a light tablet computer in their handcarts instead of ink, pens, and paper. Ha-ha.
