Journaling

I have been journaling on a daily basis for over a year. It is important for me to write an account of what is happening in my life. I include statements related to gratitude, concerns, and observations. Expressing gratitude helps me to keep a positive state of mind. When I have concerns I pose them as questions to the Universe usually asking for guidance and support. My observations are reminders of what the Universe has placed in front of me for me to notice and appreciate. I can also read previous entries and see the changes that have taken place in my life since they were written. How do you use journaling in your life as a placeholder for today's experiences?
