Any other five-year journalers out there? I’m on year eight / journal two. The only rule I have for mine is there are no rules. That and be honest. (That would be two rules, wouldn’t it?) Sometimes I write what happened during the day or a quote I want to remember or my thoughts on this or that. It’s so interesting to see the days line up as the years pass, to see things that felt insurmountable somehow work themselves out. Time passes no matter if we make note or not. It’s nice to have a record of days.
