We all know what happens when you drink a lot of water - to be gentile about it we might say, the system flushes itself out. Daily journal writing flushes out the system too.

Daily journal writing flushes out the system too.

I have been keeping journals for my 2 sons since they were in my tummy. They are 9 and 7 now and I write to them almost every day. It was nice to read that someone else thinks it would be a very special gift some day. I love it. Thank you. I was just looking for journal prompts and came across your website.

I started doing that 25 years ago and it just feels good. And my journals have unlined paper -- I don't want lines to determine how big or small my writing will be.

]]> Comment on To Delete or Not Delete? by Stephen Carey http://blog.lifejournal.com/2009/02/05/to-delete-or-not-delete/#comment-299 Stephen Carey Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:23:08 +0000 http://blog.lifejournal.com/?p=203#comment-299 This is a simple and brilliant idea. I often find I am not sure if I want to keep something - what if someone were to read it and nut understand the context or whatever. And, often, I delete. Now, what I have been doing should I go back and decide I want to delete it is to cut and past to a work processeing document, then secure it beyond what almost anyone can get into and go back a week or more later and decide. So far, I always put the entry back in, for my story is in complete without the entry. Your idea is just so much more simple. And, in reality, I don't need the security, it makes the entry seem more integral to my story than it really is - when taken in context. Thank you for the great idea.
