@gingerw I completely agree with you, writing things down offers such a great release and can be a wonderful way to process thoughts and emotions. It's amazing how putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, can bring clarity and perspective to situations that might otherwise seem overwhelming.

I find the transformation to be downright miraculous. I begin many mornings in the glum––joints aching is the usual No, 1 cause––but I know from years of journaling, if only I get underway, lay down a few clumsy sentences, allow thoughts to arise unchallenged, and most importantly keep my pen moving, before I reach the bottom of the first page I'll feel the glum vanishing and the day transforming itself into an inviting prospect. That, in my mind, is the power––and the miracle!––of journaling.
