Thanks for posting! I have journaled since 1964, and it has been absolutely invaluable. Somehow I start an entry filled with emotion and the act of writing defuses the emotion and makes sense of it. My entries are little 800 word tempests that die down before I sign off.
I have stopped writing a lot lately, and have recently wondered why--I miss it. I think that modern technology--blogs, discussion board, etc., supplants my need to write, but it's not the best replacement. I can be far more honest confronting just myself.
Thanks again for reminding me to get back on track!
