PUBLIC OR PRIVATE

In starting to write my Blog, I didnt realise that I would have so much to say or that I would say it. Its been a form of therapy and god only knows I need it lol, thats why I can't decide to make the it public I mean do I really want to put myself out there!! I think I do but I'm afraid what if it's really bad and nobody reads it? Will it work wonders for my fragile confidence or go the other way, I think I will go for it but will need to stiffen the sinews and summon up the blood.

I have read so may wonderful blogs too numerous to mention, it's great to get a glimpse into someone else's life, some are funny others are bitter sweet and some just incredibly sad however also written with great courage and I often feel empathy and not pity.

I have made up my mind I'm going to do it go public!!!!!!! watch out

thats it for now

Well, I finally got here.  Welcome to J-Land.  I cannot understand why your journal looks so different to all of ours seeing as it is an aol journal.  Perhaps you can change the layout, say choose three columns, that would make it easier to read.  Let me know if you would like me to invite others and I will do so tomorrow.

O.K. it is fine now, the layout.  I think it is because you sent it as a file attachment and when I brought it up it looked very peculiar.  When I went back into it, it was o.k.  Good luck. I know you will enjoy being in the community and will soon make lots of friends.

Hello there, I am Terry.  Jeannette sent us the link to your journal and I have had a good read.  I hope the new pub is going well and that after the bullying you will be able to rebuild your confidence and become a strong woman again!  They say life begins in your 40s and the new pub and the nice people who work there and your regulars will soon get you back in the swing.  I can sympathise with you about Liverpool Street Stn.  I work at Aldgate and have been travelling on the line for about 30 years now.  I am always getting stuck either getting to work or getting home, mind you I don't travel home as late as you do. Hugs.  Terry x

Good afternoon from the beautiful state of Virginia, in the USA.  Nat, directed me to your beautiful journal...did a little reading here in this entry and most of the others...and my thoughts about private or public, have two...one of each.  I do...works for me.  I too, have a lot to say...and say it.  I see a lot of promise in your journal...good writings and great reading.  Your life sounds very interesting...I know, I am coming back!  Hugs and love,
Joyce
