my blog as a journal

I was looking at my stats for my blog yesterday, and was a little amazed that I've posted more than 150 times here. In passing, I mentioned this fact to my mom, who just turned around and said "How many times have you written in your journal?" This bothered me for a bit. But then I really started thinking about it. I have written in my journal, there's no doubt about it. But, in a way, this blog has become my journal. Now, I don't write down my deepest thoughts here (for which you should be gratful), but I have written enough. I've written all sorts of random things here, from random thoughts to random events. So, it has become a bit of a journal for me. I still have a regular, pen and paper journal that I write in now and then. I've never been the most dedicated journal writter, but I'm working on it. And maybe, just maybe, my blog is helping me a little. At least it's a little record of a section of my life.
