Live journals or whatever they're supposed to be called..

I read a few weeks ago that keeping a live journal was something that was very beneficial to your mind and well being... I mean I've kept a dream journal now for over a year and I know it really helps when I have those weirdly real dreams and how to decode them. The thing is is that I find it odd to write about my days whenever I feel that there has been no huge accomplishment or anything I need to decipher through. Why else should I keep a journal and write down that I woke up late, had a brunch, cleaned my house fixed some yummy vegan lasagna and then decided to call it an early night? This to me seems very odd to write about, but when I read about a live journal well, it was about writing down thoughts as they come, things you want to remember but usually never do. Things you want to do when the thought comes to mind quotes you hear and want to remember. It's basically just something to have on standby so that you don't forget the things you thought you would remember.

I thought this was the most brilliant idea ever, I mean I was like whoa why haven't I thought of that, I should have a book tucked away that would be perfect for that.

By the way, book tucked away is my term for --- I had seen a gorgeous journal in a store and I just had to buy it, not to write in it right away but it was too gorgeous to leave behind and I knew I would need it for something someday, I have probably close to 100, including some my mother had stashed away that I ran upon.

So, I've picked out my perfect journal to start writing in and I have it beside me, but I just haven't been able to pick it up yet. I don't know if its the taboo of not seeing the point in journaling, or the taboo that I have made journal books to be about preserving until the right thing... How will I ever know the right thing for a certain book?

I guess the point is, is that you may never know the right time for anything, there might be other variances that are making you prolong your decision but don't let that stop you from going after and doing what you so desperately want do to...

And now.... I journal
