So how many of you have a diary or journal and love writing in it? I do, and hope all of you do, too!

I got my first diary when I was around seven. It was dark green and hard covered and had a lock and key. I loved that I could keep things secret, too! It was just so special to me.

I loved writing my thoughts and feelings in it and all that was happening in my life . . . the fun and not-so-fun things, the happy and sad. Sometimes it’s great to just get things out. Wouldn’t you agree?

There’s something about writing that makes things more real and helps you discover yourself and is a great way to talk to God, too!

It’s also fun reading it years later, thinking back on special memories and things I forgot and things that make me laugh now, too!

So happy Dear Diary Day! And if you don’t have one, I hope you soon do and start writing in it soon, too!
