it's july! a month with five wednesdays. a month of five wednesdays includes a whimsical wednesday devoted to journal writing. if you do not currently keep a journal, today is a grand day to begin. what journals should you keep? whatever suits your personal experiences. the following is a list of the journals i keep for a point of reference:
*a personal journal.
*a memories notebook in which to record random memories. because i don't record a memory with any degree of regularity, i keep a running list of memories that come to mind to later record in the memories notebook.
*a notable notebook in which to record random stuff; quotes, movie dialogue or song lyrics, ideas, questions, etc. whatever you would like to keep in a notable notebook, keep it!
*a themed journal. i keep a journal about life on my 40 acre farm/wildlife preserve.
*a daily whimsical moment notebook (which we discuss from time to time on miscellaneous monday). keep a simple record of a daily moment that truly grabbed you. reading through this daily bit of life's moments gives one a huge boost.
*art journals. art journaling is a form of art that allows the artist to create through multi-media, incorporating personal thoughts, experiences, photographs, etc. it's an artistic outlet one needs no artistic inclination/talent to enjoy. (an internet search of art journaling will give an excellent overview, should there be curious readers who wish to know more.)
do you keep a journal unique to this list? if you have a process you employ, please share! i am ever interested in different avenues of expression in the form of journaling.
much journal writing already this morning and more will continue through the day!
