The importance of keeping a journal is stressed over and over. Having a journal of precious memories or writing down what I want is something that has eluded me. I like to keep an online journal here. My deepest thoughts are shared.
I got several journals today. I want to teach my kids how to do this. I know they will benefit from it. They are having fun with a friend right now. They are having a wonderful time. At least they are not on their tablets or phones.
I want my kids to know what it is like to be a kid. I don’t want them to be like all other kids. I want them to be happy. I know I can’t give in to every whim. I want to teach them valuable skills. I know I have to work on me. I know I have to keep a journal myself and work out what needs to be thought out.
I have to learn for myself in order to teach them. I hope to be a great example to them. I hope they learn the fine art of journalism. Being able to think things through and write about what you want in life is a key ingredient to success.
