One of the unexpected benefits of blogging is that people sometimes quote you to you. You may not think a blog post worth much when you hit “publish,” but when you hear a piece of it on someone else’s lips months or even years later you may think quite differently about it.
Putting something out there for people to chew on day after day expands the pool of insight we all have to draw on over time. It’s generous, even to our future selves.
I am starting to get a little of that after four years of trying… and yes, it’s fun. I’ll see whether I can spread the feeling soon!
