I am not sure how I want to use livejournal. It is difficult enough to find the time to use my hardcopy journal and I am not sure what the differences should or could be. However, I am encouraged by the mere practice of writing my thoughts down. 2006 should be a challenging year -- finding a new job, moving to a new place and reinventing myself. Now that I have gotten over the fear and dread with which I have faced 2006, I am hopeful that I can move forward with all that must be accomplished. Perhaps this forum will provide the structure and reinforcement I need.
As my mother would say, I am not a good sleeper. I woke up too early this morning thinking about how I need to work on getting a new job in a new place. Yesterday I had a nightmare about my grandmother dying and my needing to clean out her house (I classify it as a nightmare even though she died in 2001 as it was upsetting enough to wake me up) and the day before I woke up early frustrated about the abuses by humanity (a Battlestar Galatica epsisode got me thinking about the use of rape in ethnically cleansing Bosnia and threatened rape to torture prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison). So with a whirlpool of ideas, concerns and fears swirling in my head, livejournal might be a place for me to untangle and analyze them.
