SPLENDID story and extremely useful tips for anyone who doesn't realize the benefits of journaling. In fact, even longtime journalers like myself, sometimes need a reminder, to help us resume the practice. I have years of journal books and my life is always better when I journal. For the past year or so, I only journal intermittently, because of all my Medium writing. This piece is a great motivator, for me to get back to my grass roots. Thanks Nicole :-)
