Unless something has me entirely distracted, I am always happy about the start of a new month. This is much like how so many people treat the beginning of a New Year. I see it as a chance to begin again, start fresh, try to get back on track to focus on things I truly want to do or that matter to me. It's almost February which means I can try again with writing every day. Or, continue going, as for the month of January I have managed to write in my paper journal without missing a day. I feel that's a big improvement because for a long time there I was finding it difficult to express myself - either online or on paper - and that's never a good time for me. I need to be writing.
Since I have been able to write in my paper journal regularly once again (phew! I missed doing that!) I am hoping to get back into typing online posts, too. I find that they are different ways of writing - the handwritten paper journal entries compared to the typed online posts - but it's something I feel helps me out a lot in how I feel about myself and how I live my life. It adds to it in a positive way.
In journal news, I'm still writing in the same journal that I started in July. (Journal #37) I was sporadic in my writing but now that it's getting text written on the pages of it every day, I should be able to finish in March at the latest. I'm a text only journal-er except for the times where I might paste something in but that's rare.
Recently, I've found it comforting to watch several journaling community related videos & vlogs on YouTube and I like seeing the posts in
