For as long as I can remember I have journaled.
I have a wooden trunk in storage full of diaries and journals.
Some of it I can barely stand to read, it's so silly and trivial.
I wish I could go back and have a talk with my pre-teen and teenage self...
but that's a story for another time.
Why should you keep a journal?
It becomes a keepsake as you age.
It reduces stress.
Great way to bust writer's block
It's a good way to make time for yourself.
It helps keep you organized.
It's a great place to set goals.
It's a safe place to get out frustrations or bookmark a special moment.
My favorite type of journal?
Colorful, exotic covers with blank pages and NO lines.
