I might not be that great at it but writing things out has always been one of my favorite things to do. The importance to me is pouring my heart out and being able to reflect and look back on it late. The focus is never on neatness, style, and thank goodness not spelling... just simply getting my thoughts out. I keep a journal for when I read my bible, my dreams, I will write when I am frustrated, I have journaled frequently about my first year of teaching, and just started a weight loss and other goals journal. I love that a journal can be as creative or simple as you would like and they can be private or shared. Blogging to me is just another form of journaling, and while I love typing my heart out on here, nothing compares to the feeling of getting your thoughts out paper to pen and reading it back over. I would encourage anyone and everyone to journal in one way or anther. Take the time to acknowledge and record you thoughts and feelings because whether or not they make sense, they are yours at that time and in that place in your life.
