Why do I need to Blog?

Tonight, I watched a movie, Julie & Julia, and thought blogging would be therapeutic for me.   I always felt that I should write a book or keep a journal.  So what better way to put your thoughts down without getting a hand cramp?  I think blogging will keep me sane.

I am currently 60 years old with many memories and life experiences that are mine alone.  Like many other individuals, my life was never simple, life has so many ups and downs and it did not come easy for me; it still remains so.  I have always done my best and tried so hard to please.  I was told that I was "too nice for my own good" but gave the excuse that I only treat people the way that I would like to be treated.  In every aspect of life, I've learned that nice people always finished last and never win the golden egg.  What am I doing wrong?!?  
Writing this is for me, it's an expression of me and it will hold my feelings and thoughts to the remembrance of my life.  Even if no one reads my blog, it serves as an aid for my feelings and self-being.  If my kids gets to read it, I hope it will help them learn from my mistakes and misfortune.  I do understand that most of my misfortune were self afflicted.  Was I not committed enough, smart enough, pretty enough, forceful enough or just plain stupid?

Before I start, first let me state that I do not intend to hurt or offend anyone in this blog.  These words that you will read are my thoughts and feellings, that I know and believe to be true.   Also forgive me, for I tend to get wordy, I will try to refrain, but if I do, please excuse this habit, it can be annoying.  Thank you.
