My Own Teacher

I think keeping a journal is so important, but I have never kept one consistently. I will write for a few weeks and then stop. I love having a blog that I update regularly, but I also think having a personal journal that nobody reads is important. I sort out my feelings through writing. I am committing myself once again to keeping a journal. I really hope I stay on it this time. Today I found some journal pages from last year that I had printed off...I was reading through them & found an interesting entry. It is dated June 9th, 2008 and says "Dr. Huish & Dr. Mofitt think that I have something else going on in my body that is causing my pain, along with the endometriosis. I received a strong confirmation a few days ago that this is true & that I need to really try to find out what it is."

I remember these doctors making that observation, but I don't remember having such a strong feeling about it. It makes me want to be even more proactive in finding out what is wrong with my body. I am glad that I came across this journal entry. I love reading old journals & realizing new things about myself through my own writing. I think many times I am my best teacher.
