In the midst of all things on my November ToDo’s list, I’m still writing my morning pages in my journal – at least 3 handwritten pages every morning. I usually write more throughout the day. Why?
It’s my creative net to:
- Capture Ideas of the moment to pursue later. The pen is my best memory.
- Give form to my dreams and ponder how to give them wings.
- Brainstorm solutions to problems.
- Write a poem, or essay or capture a character for later extemporization.
It’s my friend & confident where I:
- Give voice to things best kept to myself knowing the confidence will go no further. Cheaper than a shrink.
- Give thanks for what I have without sounding maudlin.
- Cry over losses, and rejoice in my triumphs.
- And so much more.

“The pen is my best memory.”
That’s such a great quote, and I can totally relate because when I look back at entries from a couple of years ago, I’m pretty sure I’d never have remembered them were it not for the pen.

Thank you. It is amazing. Sometimes I’m even in awe. Like. I wrote that?
