I love what you wrote about journaling and could not agree with you more...that a transformation takes place. I didn't realize this until I had journaled for years...that a transformation actually takes place to put you in a more positive frame of mind for the remainder of the day...as you said, it is powerful and miraculous. I knew this was happening (I could feel it) but I could not describe it words. You have defined it eloquently.

Hi, Madelyn (@madelynewing) I've found that there are two kinds of transformation that take place as a "gift" of regular journaling. One is the gift of daily transformation, as you so perfectly put it: " … put[s] you in a more positive frame of mind for the remainder of the day." The other transformation––one I'm so pleased to have happened to me––is more over-arching, with any luck, a transformation lasting a lifetime: I simply cannot NOT journal, every morning, no matter how thick my morning fogginess or how grumbly my joints. I've no choice: feed the cat, fill the coffee cup, grab notebook and pen and go to work! Or to put it another way: Go to pleasure! Here's wishing you a beautiful day, Madelyn! –Ray (@ray666)
