I know I talk about journaling all the time…..but it’s like eating and sleeping for me. I’m never in a hurry at the DMV or the doctor’s office or in standstill traffic because I always have a journal with me that I can jot down lists, a quote off the radio, a website someone mentions etc. I take notes in church with my journal and even have it nearby when watching movies to jot down an inspirational quote.
I have another set of journals that I’ve turned into more of a family journal. Having a group journal around is a great way to connect in a way that the entire family will love to look back upon. I always have a journal in the car or when we travel. Create ongoing activities and sharing…..like when out to dinner or at the park. Make waiting at the doctor’s office or a long drive go quicker by initiating a new questionnaire or wishlist. I typically use a composition notebook because it fits easily into most bags and has a sturdy cover.
