I've decided to write a blog for several reasons
- it helps me to make sense of everything that is happening and enables me to keep a certain degree of perspective
- when I do finally tell more friends and family it will save them having to hear all the details - I can just send them the link and they can catch up or skip as they please 😜
- I enjoy writing my holiday blogs but they may have to take a back seat for a while
- it proves to me that I can learn about matters totally outside of anything I could previously comprehend or indeed conceive (quite important as you get older and don't have to learn for work etc)
- further down the line when all is good again, inevitably I will forget some of what is actually happening. Certainly my emotions will be different and hopefully I will be able to look back with a wry smile and wonder what all the fuss was about
and, probably most importantly
- somehow gives me a feeling of being in control of the situation (not sure I can explain that)
and having listed all that, I've suddenly remembered the word that probably covers all the above - it's cathartic 😌
