Makes for a rich tapestry of words transformed into personal art. <br /><br />I have chosen your post, Building Memories: Journal Writing, for the #JournalChat Pick of the Day for all things journaling on Twitter. <br />I will post a link on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, my blog and website Refresh with Dawn Herring, and in Refresh Journal, my weekly e-journal: http://www.refreshwithdawnherring.blogspot.com/. <br /><br />You're welcome to join us for #JournalChat Live on Thursdays at 5 EST/2 PST for all things journaling on Twitter; this week's topic is Your Journaling: Stress Busters!<br /><br />Thanks again for such a heartwarming peek into your personal and for your interest in journaling for history making. <br /><br />Be refreshed,<br />Dawn Herring<br />JournalWriter Freelance <br />Host of #JournalChat Live and Links Edition on TwitterDawn Herringhttp://www.journalwriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-60324105081198117742012-04-13T05:46:57.101-04:002012-04-13T05:46:57.101-04:00That's a lovely scene you're describing an...That's a lovely scene you're describing and then the end is slightly, disarmingly sad but holds hope in a strange way, you only just taste it.<br /><br />I don't keep a journal, but I do have a computer. I don't know how I feel if I die and my family takes my hard-drive, reads the contents and perhaps even publish it. Not all of it is my best work, and most incomplete. And then, what if it became posthumously successful and I wasn't there to see it? Of course, I wouldn't be there to muse on this, so it wouldn't matter either way. These are the things which I think about, but probably shouldn't.<br /><br />I also find it so intriguing that Jane Austen's letters were burnt. The thought, if expressed to no-one, dies with the person, and perhaps so does the real truth of their existence.Rachel O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063533746060097018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-60024216332163739452012-04-10T23:27:15.217-04:002012-04-10T23:27:15.217-04:00I remember making a conscience decision to NOT kee...I remember making a conscience decision to NOT keep a journal because I didn't think anything interesting would happen in my lifetime. How wrong I was! The beauty of journaling isn't about the greatness of the times, but the smallness. It's those small, precious memories and answered prayers that slip through your mind, even though you strain to keep those things close to your heart.<br /><br />I recently started going through old emails I've written and putting them in chronological order, just to give me my life back. I've been so blessed to be reminded of how the Lord ministered to me through the years. <br /><br />You journals must be your most valuable possession.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182293568554955242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-80082995509689462392012-04-10T21:04:49.602-04:002012-04-10T21:04:49.602-04:00Thank you for sharing such a vivid scene.
I'v...Thank you for sharing such a vivid scene.<br /><br />I've got a stack of spiral notebooks with life events, prayers, writing ideas, and everything in between. <br /><br />I should go back and read them. Many devotionals were birthed in those pages. Perhaps a book hides in them as well.Susan J. Reinhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461276857852409546noreply@blogger.com
