Write a Journal

I feel the need to write a journal, not necessarily made up entirely of writing, but the doodles and pasting stuff in. I was watching a TV show the other night, and there was quite a quote:

"He told me to keep a journal, and only write down the good things. Then when the bad things fade away, you can read about the happy life you had."

It was an interesting quote about letting go of the bad things in your life and only writing the good things in a journal. Imagine looking back at all the fun things you did.

I follow an author named Austin Kleon. He has several best-selling books and recently wrote a post about journaling. I find his work interesting and creative.

I write in three journals—one is a simple notebook that I keep with me, the other is in my van, which I write in whenever I am mobile, and the third is a five-year one-line journal a day. It is a fantastic reminder of what you were doing year to year.
