		<description>Great post. Thank you. I suspect that only a very small minority actually journal and it&#039;s one of the most powerful things that I do in (for) my life. Gratitude truly is the place to begin each day. It&#039;s what connects us to our Creative Intelligence. Keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Jim Campbell

		<description>Great post!  I think using your journal to chronicle the difficult and trying times is beneficial as well.  I was looking through a journal from 2003 yesterday which was a trying year for me.  I wrote down my frustrations and confusions frequently.  Now when I look back I feel so much gratitude and inspiration because I have proof of my struggle and victory.  

If I get discouraged again I can look back on those times and say, &quot;see, I made it through that so I can make it through this.&quot;</description>

		<description>I agree that journal writing is one of the most useful personal growth/development tools available.  It keeps you in touch with yourself--what&#039;s important, what your goals are, who you are, and who you want to become.  

Keeping a journal is quite simple--yet also surprisingly tricky!  It&#039;s really helpful to learn from journal experts--people who have done or read the research and done original thinking/work in the field.  The International Association for Journal Writing is an organization dedicated to supporting and teaching the basics and the nuances of journal writing. Thirty top-notch journal experts collectively offer their wisdom to you at one site: www.IAJW.org. Come visit!</description>

		<description>I keep a journal and getting started with the hardest part. Once I determined to write everything to another party - things seemed to flow. I can definitely say that my ability to express myself through words has improved significantly.</description>
