Writing a Journal | Journaling Joys #6

Journaling Joys From the desk of Jill Schoenberg—

The possibilities for writing a journal are absolutely endless.

Yet, when asked to define journal keeping, most people think of a blank journal or a lined journal that is only used to record the happenings of the day.

Although that is not a bad definition of journal keeping, it is very limited and, to be blunt, not very creative.

Ok, truthfully, I think the above definition of how to keep a journal is pretty boring, and that’s why I feel tantalizing journal themes must be used at some point during everyone’s journal keeping. Because, well… simply put, writing a journal can and should be fabulous and fun.

Great journal themes make journaling wildly enjoyable! I know so, because I’ve experience the vast joy of writing a journal based on themes. Keep reading to learn more.
