@ray666 hi, yes I occasionally come across a file box full of journals-right now the ones I found I won’t even look through! I do a conversation with myself stream of consciousness rant, sometimes poetry and others just song titles. I always felt I would become a millionaire on Name That Tune! lol. Anyway, I often write in huge bold letters so If I go back in a current journal I’ll take notice and reread that paragraph. I have a lovely new pen from the online store, Levenger, which if readers and writers do no know of-it is all things for readers and writers-there it is not a lost art to journal. I love my new pen and I find myself writing more often.
Lately, I’m consumed with lists, to dos and a daily schedules since my dear brother was diagnosed. Right now, I don’t want to write anything “out loud” I, am so upset.

@judyandchloe Hi! I hadn't heard of Levenger pens. I just took a look at Levenger's website, at the array of pens, and oh boy! I'm tempted. 🙂 Lately, much of my journal is consumed by responses to challenges my therapist has laid before me. Yes, you read that correctly. 🙂 My therapist. When my life-partner died last fall, my PCP encouraged me to get some bereavement counseling. I pooh-poohed the idea for quite some time, then finally gave in and said "Oh, OK." I'm so glad I gave. the therapy experience has been incredible! At first, I was keeping a separate notebook for all of my therapy ruminations. Now I'm weaving everything together in my journal. Things I want to discuss with my therapist, I'll highlight in yellow marker. When I'm with my therapist, I'll have my journal in front of me, sort of an in-my-lap teleprompter. I don't show my journal to my therapist. Funny, isn't it? My journal is for My Eyes Only! 🙂

Cheers!
