My last three entries have been about the AOL 3 years of journaling Celebrations.....
I"ve only been journaling for about 1 and 1/2 years. During this time my computer crashed and I lost a lot of photos...happily some of my favorites were saved since I had them on my journals. I have learned so many things and met some great journalers.
It occurred to me that it would be nice to do something special for the 3 year celebration AOL is having for journalers. This sun/moon photo collage is a small way of noting that there are certain things that we all do that bring us together and make us feel as one. People journal for all different reasons. When we share our journals we are together...just like when we all look up in the sky each day for the sun or the moon we are together we share a common view. The reasons we look are different but the view is still shared.
Why do I journal?
I've always enjoyed reading, my whole life. I feel that writing and photography capture moments of life that otherwise would escape like mist in the morning sun. AOL offers a way to share writings and photos as moments of life. I write and photograph to remember and share something I thought was beautiful or fun...hoping that someone else may find it to be the same for them. I look throughout other journals for the same thing. Sometimes I find courage in the face of adversity which has a beauty of it's own. Sometimes I find talent that is amazing and fun. Most times I find some very cool souls who share their warmth and vitality....this entry is a big thanks to all of you!! I have stayed with journaling because of all of you. You all inspire me.
How about you? Why do you journal? Make a short entry in your journal, leave a link in my comments and I'll add you to this entry! Happy journaling all!
