Have had a journal off and on since I was a child. Mostly on since I have been in recovery.

Current journal, with one of my favorite bookmarks and fountain pens. I have used code to keep folks from beating me for what I wrote. I have not used code, deliberately, to let others know how I felt.

Traveler’s notebooks, other notebooks, sewn and hand bound notebooks (by me) many varieties and sizes make up my collection. This website is a journal in itself.

However, one thing journaling has brought me is peace of mind. My current iteration has been helping me during Dad’s decline.

Dad actually supported my Journaling habit, by the way. He gave me a fountain pen, which is a treasure. He also taught me to sew, and gave me a spinning wheel.

Sighs. Am feeling a little squishy again. Will write more again when I can. Hugs my friends. -L
