Today, I'm thankful for writing.
1) I have to write: have to get thoughts out and organized so I can reconcile them unto myself. So I write, and I philosophize, and I examine things, and eventually work through a problem, deal with a feeling. Takes time, but I do it. By writing, I internalize.
2) I love to write: there are few things more satisfying than getting that right phrase or sentence out on paper perfectly. When one must pick from hundreds of thousands of words in the English language, the wrong word is a killer, the right word, a savior.
It's pretty awesome.
