To all of my friends who do not journal, or think they are bad at it.....and to the ones who do journal.
A journal is not a test. It is a place to put down your feelings, hopes, dreams, goals, triggers, and to just plain sound off if you need to.
There are no set rules to what a journal is. I use it to put down all of the above.and I reread them later when I am depressed....it helps me to get back up and go again and it also tells me this too shall pass.
When I am upset or angry I journal......that helps me see what triggers me to choose bad behavior. I also find it easier to write things down than to scream or yell.
And whenever I find something positive that helps me.....I write it down.....I learn to draw from those times and techniques that helped. I encourage everyone to use one.
FOR THE REST OF YOU, WHAT DOES YOUR JOURNAL DO FOR YOU.?

I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...

DS, I just have to say that if I did not love my friends here on DS I would be gone in a heart beat! I am at my wits end of losing posts! It seems like the Gateway thing seems to be a you problem. How can we fix it? I always make sure that I am online and signed in before I hit send.Welcoming any suggestions other than the ones that I recieved before.
It is a great idea.
Thanks-RJ
