I'm very glad you're here writing, Janice. xo Thank you for what you do to share insights and wisdom, especially for caregivers. And of course I love your little cartoons ;-) Wowser 271 articles! Congrats! Journalling has kept me sane since 2015. Crystallising thoughts, putting 'Yuck' into words and also capturing precious moments. Whatever the weird emotion on inner-sight, I've managed to express it outside myself. Still curious, still learning.
Hi Victoria, I so agree. It seems like I can view it from a different perspective once it's out in the open. Another way to do it is to draw it -whatever it is that comes to mind in whatever color. That has worked for me as well - new insights, new ideas seem to speak through the drawing.
Ohhhh YES, from feeling to direct expression in a sketch, or music...I don't play the piano as much as I used to or draw as much, for me I need more dedicated time to create/compose. So, journalling is my goto and freeflow poetry. xo
