Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

I love journaling but have neglected it for a few years...this is encouraging me to start again...kept so many different kinds...some in code for privacy...(I had the bad experience when as teenager of someone breaking the lock on my little journal and teasing me about it..) I think I'll set aside sometime at night instead of going down the FB well of no return..(tho'FB helps me keep in touch with friends & family) I love writing....but painting takes up most of my time and it's also another form of journaling.BigThank you for this spurt of encouragement. I'm 85 and have a lot of thoughts. Got to get them down one way or another before it's too late.

@fromthehill I'll wager you're not alone when it comes to putting down journaling for a while, then returning to it! And, there are so many ways to journal, as we fellow members have illustrated. It's very easy to get distracted and tell ourselves, "oh, in a while I'll sit down and do that writing."

Your painting can be a way to journal, you know? Perhaps doing some drawing in pen and ink or watercolor within your journal pages!
