I have tried recently to keep track of my food and frankly just can't keep it up for more than a week or two. I guess I am just not cut out to journal.

It didn’t last so long. I think that keeping a journal helps us recognizing our dreams and goals and they don’t change so much over the years. So, it might be a good idea, but I sincerely doubt that I will want to do it again. The funniest part is that I’ve helped a lot of people to start writing a journal. Maybe, I was trying to convince myself through them.

Although I start off wanting to be deep and emotional, I usually end up somewhere in left field with my ramblings going on and on about my grocery list, car repairs, housework. It ends up looking more like a to-do list than anything else. Maybe it means I finaly have my life together - nah, just a short attention span. mrsmarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181067321189735047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-70338708984920242232012-10-30T12:28:13.424-04:002012-10-30T12:28:13.424-04:00I regularly write a journal...Have for about 20 so...I regularly write a journal...Have for about 20 something years now...I still write in paper journals...the pen and paper somehow keeps the connection for me.

Sometimes I want to track mood, stress, and sleep for example. This week I needed gratitude back so the "I am grateful for..." statements are back. I am rarely drawn anymore to detailing my day or emotions. thequiltingdobermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834206602127843729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-16702239910265573502012-10-30T02:09:32.644-04:002012-10-30T02:09:32.644-04:00What nice rules.

I keep a word document with snippets from everyday for my Project 365 (a photo everyday, along with journaling to go with it). I have also kept a personal journal on and off. Mostly when I'm feeling discombobulated. In fact - I just ordered a few new journals to replenish my stock. One thing I DON'T do: save them. After about two or three years they hit the recycle bin.<br /><br />Also: I do believe my 3 years of Project 365 have killed my desire to blog. *sigh*bdaisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993906312026049336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-83933405141638233362012-10-29T21:52:47.377-04:002012-10-29T21:52:47.377-04:00I've talked to so many people that swear by jo...I've talked to so many people that swear by journaling for a multitude of reasons.
