“Pen, ink & paper, and a sitting position are great helps to attention and thinking.” – John Adams

Naturally, I had to head back over here and pass it along (re: your notebook purchase).

Putting ink to paper is definitely therapeutic for me. Plus, in today’s fast paced, technology obsessed society (something in there should be hyphenated, I just know it), I cling to writing. Good ol’ tangible pen and paper. There’s something almost raw about it at this point.

@ Peggy – I agree with Kristen. Don’t throw them away! I’ve kept all mine since junior high. For years I carried around a shoebox of old love letters from my high school sweetheart/husband/ex-husband. From home, to college, to my first apartment, to my first home. Finally, I threw them away. I didn’t want anyone to find them, and I rationalized that by reminding myself that part of my life was over. I swear, just the other night, I was wishing I still had them to pilfer through. Not exactly a journal, but a decent example nonetheless, ha.

@Sonia, I felt the same way about her as Bridget.

And don’t worry Kristen, I too have about a dozen journals on my shelf – only mine are all empty! Don’t you love when you fill the first page of a new journal with your inner-thoughts, only to never write in it again?! Good luck with the new notebook, Kristen…here’s wishing you have better luck!

I wrote kind of fast, esp. in the high school ones : ) I know I shouldn’t care about people reading things after I’m dead, but that’s what worries me. ha.

Thanks for your thoughts.
