to soulflower: Thanks for reminding me about journaling!! I wrote this recipe a while ago and sometimes I don't take my own medicine. This weekend I'm attending a workshop and I thing we're going to be doing lots of that. I'm excited!
to soulflower: So sorry to hear you lost your dad. I'm thankful my dad is still going strong at 81. But my mom died 9 nine years ago. That was defintely the hardest thing I've faced. But quite a spur for growing up too. Glad to hear you're ready to journal.
I am a very strong believer in journaling..My father bought me my first diary when I was in fifth grade and at the time my parents were going through a divorce. I did not know that he had kept it all these years so when he gave it to me I was brought to tears while reading it.Since then I have journaled off and on but am definitely going to start up again. I lost my Dad a month ago and I think it would be a good time to journal again..
I gave this one 3 stars because I suspect it's most useful only for peope with "Seattle weather" type emotions (ie. if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes). Others like myself, have "Greek islands weather" emotions (ie. every day is some variation of sunny, with short bursts of thunderstorms here and there). For people like me, ain't much to do about the sunny days. The game for people like me is to understand why and from where the storms come, and to recognize their early signs when they're still far out on the horizon. Maybe journaling would help people like me, but I think practices like meditating are more helpful (ie. I can medidiate well if and only if the horizon is clear of storms).
