My wife passed after a long struggle with COPD. After a bout of pneumonia in late December she was released to home hospice care with the help of Hospice Of The Valley I was able to keep her comfortable and pain free. She passed on February 15th at home peacefully and in the presence of myself and her three daughters.
I’m in SW Louisiana on the Mermentau River. Very rural isolated community in the marsh. Suits me right now

What a blessing for you and your wife to be together which also shows the love. Thank you for sharing by writing. Am touched by your courage.

@oxbeau How is your journaling project going? Your wife's passing then the journey across country have been a profound impact on your life. Do you have a companion pet to keep you company?

I have read that people will keep several journals going at once. One for traveling, one for dreams, one for emotions, one for daily writings, and so on. What does everyone here do?

While I keep a journal for daily writings, I also have one that is used for my poetry and commentary, only. I have decided to go back to a 30 day challenge done long ago. Each day, there is a topic already chosen. Now, to decide whether to use my daily journal or dedicate one special one? While moving a bookcase this weekend, I shifted things and found yet more blank journals. Gosh, I can never complain about not having anything to write/draw in!

To the readers of this thread, how has your journaling been going? What have you noticed your trend is? Morning or evening? How has journaling helped your physical and mental health? Longhand, or computer?
