The idea of creating this blog came from a former office colleague, Jasni, whom I met at a coffee-shop
in Shah Alam.  For several years we have not met each other, since I'm retired and Jasni opened up his
own business. So, over coffee, we talked of old times and then Jasni suggested I create a blog and relate
my passion for running and thoughts on my other interests.  Hence this blog.
But I experience difficulties to continue after my first blog input - I don't know how to continue with new
postings as I couldn't find the prompt to do so.  I got stuck.  Very much later, when my teacher son, Azhar,
who is working in Kuala Rompin, came to the rescue when he came to visit me. So at last I got this blog
going, but I still have some problems.  I am puzzled why the sentences got broken-up in midsentence
after I pushed the publish button and view the blog.  I'm trying to improve it.

There is an interesting exposition on journaling (in my case - blogging) written by 'journaldoctordotcom':
"The journal is a place to reach out and meet yourself as you stretch in all directions. You can alleviate
your stress by releasing your emotion in a safe place.  You can create a place for yourself in which
you can express anything and everything on your mind. Not only is this a good place for you to complain
and 'whine' all you need to - getting rid of your pent-up feelings is GOOD for you.  The journal is a
resource for healing body, mind and spirit in a way that supports every activity that engages you and
every predicament that you face.
Writing helps release tensions associated with stress.
Making a friend of the journal ensures that you have a constant source of communication and
comfort.  With your journal, you are never alone.
Writing helps you explore the past, anticipate the future, and live more creatively."
