Journaling, in or out?

I keep a journal. I started writing when I was a teenager, I wrote for a few years and then I stopped. When I was 23 and I started writing again and I have kept a jounal since then (almost 10 years) I write about the things that happen in my life, about my thoughts and feelings, about the things that I am grateful for etc. I like travelling very much and I usually write about the places I visit, the people I meet etc. When I was younger I sometimes wrote poems in my journal, but I keep them in a seperate notebook now. I have never had an online diary and I prefer my old-fashioned handwritten journal.

I don't know if this is considered journaling but I like to collect prayers and scriptures that apply to my life. I have a little journal that I carry around with me in case I need an idea for prayer, etc. I am in the process of beginning a journal that recounts how God has taken care of me over the years and what I am thankful for. I like to journal on specific subjects, especially when I am reading specific books. I also like to set aside a special journal when I am traveling to write down my impressions, events, and things that really interested me. I also like to make notes of any problems that occur during travel so that my next trip will be much smoother. I even keep a list of packing items and what I would have liked to take along that I forgot and what I think I could have left home.

I dont journal because I dont like to write just for myself. I think that there are many things you can do besides journal. It is an Ok pastime but just not one that I normally indulge in. I just dont really enjoy it that much. It is just OK. I think there are some people that just really enjoy journaling but it is not really me.
