I love to read ~ and I love to write. There is something relaxing in sitting down with a good book and let the mind drift away to the make-believe land on the pages. And there is something very rewarding in putting words to ones experiences and feelings by writing them down in a journal. So I read, and I write, both on a daily basis. Just for the fun of it. Because, let me tell you a secret, when one spend time doing things that make one feel good ~ it has an effect on every area of ones life. Add a gratitude to the mix and you can create a wonderful magical life, the wonderful life you dream about. Sounds great, doesn't it? But honestly, you can learn that from any number of books and websites, so I won't go into that further.
Writing is a great way to keep memories alive. When one write something down, it's easier to remember it, and one can go back years later and bring back those memories to life again. Being me, I also prefer a hand-written letter to an email as it feels more personal and special to think about that the other person took time to sit down and write those words with a pen on a paper instead of on a computer. It takes thought to put those words down on the paper, knowing that there is no button to click to undo misstakes, and that's what I appreciate.
Writing also includes keeping a journal, and I especially love to sit down with my first cup of coffee in the morning and reflect on the day that is waiting to begin. I write down my dreams and wishes, but even more important, what I am grateful for ~ both what I already have and what I wish to recieve. That's how one make dreams become reality, by making a wish and then believe that it is already present. It is my way of sorting my mind out, one can say, contemplating over the things that goes on in my life, and sometimes in the world around me, without judgment or prejudice. And of course, it is also because I love to put words to my thoughts and feelings in a beautiful notebook. ;-)
Anyway, I believe that keeping a journal is one of the best things one can do to keep ones mind peaceful and calm...and to keep memories alive. If you haven't tried it yet, please do. It doesn't really matter if your spelling or grammar is correct as a journal is private and meant for your eyes only.
