So many thoughts, so much sand

I started this blog because I have a lot of things that I think about, and I wanted to put the thoughts down in words, partly for myself and partly for other people to read if they wanted to.

I find myself composing blog posts as I walk home, as I work, when I get up...

But when I try to actually write them, the ideas and words trickle out like a handful of sand between my fingers.

When I'm with a group of people, it can be hard to shut me up (in fact, that is one thing I'm trying to learn - to listen more and talk less), and I think I'm relatively good at expressing myself.

But when it comes to writing, it all just disappears. Frustrating!

I am going to keep trying though.

When I read other people's blogs, I laugh, I think, and I say to myself "It doesn't seem that hard!" But I need to remember that I didn't see all the drafts and I don't know how long those five lines were in production.

Cheers.
