HEALTHY
Why blogging is good for the mind!
I think that one aspect of this study (or is it mere speculation) is the aspect of blogs which I do not and do not want to engage in; the message boards.
I have occasionally participated in this part of the scene and always, always, always come away feeling downed or downed upon.
Of course, I am not gregarious by nature; an introvert.
But the other parts of blogging; reading, linking, moving around, making fast connections; this all has to be good for a mind, particularly an aging one.
Another thing. Typing is good!
Coordination and all.
I do know that creative writing is good and the use of images is better and that my blog work becomes 'timeless'.
So, even though this article will make it seem that blogging is the ultimate in mental health, it is sure good for you.
