Default anyone here journal?
okay, so with all the drama and emotional upheaval I have been through this weekend, I am really going to try to start to journal again. I did it long ago but with fingers and hands not being nice to me, I stoppped, I am gong to start either an online blog, or a journal and store it on my computer in a word processing program. So, here is the poll, since the last one went so well.

Let me know, great, thanks.

Yep, I've done a journal most of my life. I say, man, grab one of those Namikis and a Moleskine` and have at it! A lot of the value in it for me is an awesome pen and an awesome journal. We get together and drift into another world. Do it even if it's only a list of things you did for the day. Once you're in the mode, you'll be hooked.

I have done a journal for quite some time - I love it! It is my way of getting thoughts out of my head!!! I write (almost) every night before I go to sleep. And when days are bad I also will grab it during the day to make an entry. I have all of them in my trunk and there are times I will go back and read them. Love my journal!!

I have been journaling for four years both on the computer and in writing, My husband showed me how to save my journaling onto a floppy disc so I can remove it and no one would have access to what was done on the computer.

In addition to that I have 4 filled jounals and ready to start my 5th.

Journaling is a good way to work out lives difficulties and record those moments we never want to forget - happy and sad.
