How a Journal Keeps You Grounded

In the midst of all things on my November ToDo’s list, I’m still writing my morning pages in my journal - at least 3 handwritten desk w gilded 8pages.  Why?

It’s my creative net to:
  • Capture Ideas of the moment to pursue later.  The pen is my best memory.
  • Give form to my dreams and ponder how to give them wings
  • Brainstorm solutions to problems
  • Write a poem, or essay or capture a character for later extemporization.
It’s my friend to:
  • Give voice to things best kept to myself knowing the confidence will go no further.
  • Give thanks for what I have without sounding maudlin.
  • Cry over losses, and rejoice of triumphs
  • And so much more.
Do you keep a journal?
