I think most of my childhood journal entries were done on Sunday afternoons when my mom sat us all down to write together :)

I write my journal in xml, which is pretty geeky of me, but not hard once you learn the basic code terms. I write it in notepad and upload it to a password-protected website. The nice thing about that format is that it makes it easy to then publish it – Mike gave me the first five years bound into a book as a gift for Christmas back in 2008 :)

I can give you more details if you are interested – just email me :)

I have a journal available for Anna, but she is not really interested to write and draw in it, for some reason it feels more like work for her. Maybe if we start journaling together, it might change…

I find the practice immensely helpful in clearing my head and helping me make better decisions, speak more clearly, and pray. Nowadays my blog is the closest thing I have to a journal.

I’m fascinated that you keep a digital journal (in addition to your blog) – hadn’t thought of that, either, but if I had, it would have made it so I could have kept journalling even when I find it difficult to write on paper (eg since Nikki was born). Do you have any tips for how to organise a private digital journal? Do you use a word-processing program?

My journal has been completely digital since I started doing it every day (which is why it’s gotten written every day). Blogs make great journals, though, I think!
