Day 19: Healing

What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? (Author: Leonie Allan)


I really think that this blog was a big part of healing for me this past year. I have always loved writing and have kept a journal off and on for many years. Starting this blog allowed me the opportunity to keep my journal electronically. I do still write in my journal, but I keep that writing to working through the heavier stuff. This blog has been great opportunity for me to step outside some of the drama and to remind myself that life is happening around me. It wasn't a sudden healing by any means. In fact, there for awhile, I found myself not blogging during the rough times. I read another blog entry (sorry - can't even remember who wrote it!) and they talked about the journey of blogging. They recommended writing something every day - no matter what. Now, that can be hard, but it was a great revelation for me. I knew I didn't want to use this blog to share all my woes, so writing often meant I needed to write about other parts of my life. So, this drip-by-drip evolution has brought me to a fairly healthy place now that 2010 is almost done!

I really want to be healed in 2011. I'd like to be healed emotionally. I've been beat up in 2010, so I'm looking forward to 2011 like I've never looked forward to a new year before. I have very high hopes for 2011 and I'm going to maintain that positive attitude. I'm ready to move past the sorry and on to the dreams. I want to try new things and celebrate life. I can't wait!
