Recently I thought of Journaling as a creative and healing tool. I like to write, especially poetry. Each time I write a new poem, even if it's not great, I feel renewed. My Poetry acts as a venting tool. I've discovered I feel the same way when I write in my journal. My life takes on new color. Whether I write about my children and realize how grateful I am for them, or I write about how frustrated I am with weight loss issues and remember that I can conquer them. Writing things down helps me to view things from a different point, usually higher up, as I am looking down at these words of my life written on each creative and healing page.
