Do you have a journal and if so, how would you descibe your journal?

I have a journal and, in a word, it is an ecletic vanity journal, in which I keep things that mean something to me. I keep it purely for my pleasure and I doubt anyone looks at it but me.

What about you and your journal? Tell us about it. Come on. Brag a little :D :hi:

that I thought they were. I thought were kind of a blog type thing and people would WANT to have a chance to "promote" theirs. Oh well...another sinker, brought to you by TA :D

When I see "journal", I think of a paper journal. Which is probably going out of fashion these days. :D

I had a blog but, I haven't posted in it in a long time...I just use the journal feature here. It is all I need. How about you? Do you have a journal here?

Threads I post that I want to remember, and want others to be able to look at too.

I have a blog separate from DU. Actually, I have two. A public one my husband and I both write for our families to keep up with our comings and goings, and a personal blog that is only available to friends I designate. I wouldn't share them here. :D

There is (after all) another world oustide of DU :pals:

I just checked out your journal on here...me likey :D

I learned some thing about you. And it was interesting reading. You write pretty ;) :hug:

:hug:

and has been re-launced as the Kitten Picture of the Day repository

that should really get you some traffic :rofl: NOT...

still, it makes it easier for me to access from MY journal ;)

I haven't seen all the pics.

Fantastic, just fantastic!!!

in case anyone is interested in them.

Other than that ... just a couple of posts that were important to me

:hi:

I see now why you feel at "home" at AirmensMom ...similar type of geography...yes.

but the Smokies are a bit higher and wider than the Black Forest. You just have more space in the U.S. even for your mountains.

I guess I should look into it.

and no! DU is not paying me to promote the feature :D

Those notebooks are interesting to read back through. But I continued while in one place. Real mundane. I'm thinking of destroying those.

I have a hand written journal I've kept since 9th grade (1980). It's not so much a catalog of my opinions or emotions, just some day to day accounts of some of the more... 'dramatic' things that have happened to me in my life, or a few jotted notes of what I did on a particular date that I knew I'd want to remember. It also contains numerous lists of things-- movies I'd wanted to see, albums I'd wanted to buy, etc.

There's really not much about it that is overtly political or emotional; but re-reading one or another particular entry truly excites some long-dead synapses. For example, one entry, dated Oct. 28, 1987 reads, "Angela said "yes"! Now for the hard part, making sure she's not making a mistake." May not mean much to the casual reader, but it allows me to relive one of the most exciting days of my life.

(Post-script: she did make a mistake, but years later she told me I was the "best mistake she ever made...")
