Penmanship.



Greetings to you, my dear reader. Or if there is even one.

I haven't been able to update my blog due to full calendars. I also realized that I don't know how to build a blog network (I don't even know how to follow blogs) but I can write. A few days ago, I attended a retreat in search for the answers to my life's questions and in an attempt to reconnect with God. I was successful with the latter but the former doesn't happen overnight. Also, during the retreat I was given a journal. I really like the quality of the paper and it comes very handy. And I want to transform these beautiful papers into beautiful pages by writing beautiful thoughts.

In a journal, we scribble very personal things and I was thinking twice about sharing them in this blog because this is supposed to be a page of useful information, open to the public. For my private life, however, I realized it'll be a wonderful habit to keep a journal and write at least a few lessons or reflections each day. When we write down our goals, it helps us remember them well. Similarly, by taking notes on a lecture, we can easily refer back to the key takeaways. Goals (future) and lessons (past) are important elements of life (present). When it's written in ink, it becomes permanent. So, I will probably be detached from this site, channeling my thoughts to other medium. For how long? For a long while, maybe. I will try to get un-wired and go and live a full life out there. I suggest you do too.

Peace. =)

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow's a mistery. Today is a gift.

Just while ago, a good friend shared with me a nice thought. And I just have to place it somewhere here because it's a good one. He said, "even the mildest ink can be sharper than the sharpest knife." True. Even the lightest ink can say the heaviest words. :)
