“I view writing lots of ways as a handicap.
Other people can live their life and understand it; I have to write it to understand it.”
– Ann Voskamp
This writing gig, is it a gift or a handicap? Funny, I had to start writing this out to even think it through. Either way, I am in full agreement with Ann – “I don’t really know what I think until I write.” I am happy to return to this habit of recording my thoughts to work them out. At this time in my life I thought I didn’t have time for it, but at such a time as this I see how necessary it is. I need clarity and understanding to live intentionally in this chaos that is ever in motion around me. Since I have returned to writing this week I feel more at peace. I don’t know if I have anything significant to share, I am afraid to throwing a bit of myself out there to be consumed by others, but I am grateful for an outlet to sort through the many thoughts that run marathons in this tired mind of mine.
