Sorry about the frequent poo posts lately, but really, what can you expect from a mom of three in diapers?
Today I was sharing with a friend that blogging has been nice for me, because I find writing cathartic. She asked what “cathartic” meant. So I looked it up on an online dictionary:
ca·thar·tic
(k
-thär
t
k)
adj.Inducing catharsis; purgative.n.An agent for purging the bowels, especially a laxative.
Yeah. Soooo not what I meant. Catharsis was closer:
ca·thar·sis (k
n. pl. ca·thar·ses (-sz)
1. Purgation.2. A psychological technique used to relieve tension and anxiety by bringing repressed feelings and fears to consciousness.3. The therapeutic result of this process; abreaction.
Therapeutic! That’s what I meant. Glad we cleared that up. Otherwise, she’d have been under the impression that blogging gives me diarrhea.
