I keep hearing all the talk about how journaling helps you mentally and emotionally. Well, I found this interesting blog comment that confirmed this loud and clear.

What this also goes on to say is that journaling helps open up creativity and makes a person feel better! I even recall reading that when people journal they could lose weight because they start to feel better about who they are and their life.
So if that isn't a reason to get started...well, I don't know what is!
Here's to journaling!
