I have been writing in a personal Journal for over two weeks now. At one time I wrote daily for a number of years as part of therapy but stopped writing after the therapy. The personal journal exists to pour out dreams and frustrations. This public journal will exist to share ideas that cross my mind and tiny tales of things I remember in life, and occasionally, I’ll drop a poem into the mix.

In order to sharpen my ability to express myself clearly, these Tumblemind Sunrise Journal entries will be limited to two paragraphs with an occasional concluding sentence. Any poems submitted will not be required to follow the two paragraph format of course, as poetry needs to flow to express ideas and evoke responses. I write simply to write and have no idea or expectation of whether an audience will arise from these writings.
