I misplaced my journal somehow in my move.


In his essay "How to Write a Letter," Garrison Keillor says that shy people need to write letters so they don't "dry up and blow away." People forget so quickly. People disappear unless they write things down. That is why I journal. I must carefully chronicle for myself. I hate not knowing where all my thoughts, and prayers, and favorite quotes are. I actually feel a bit lost. Part of me considered going and buying a new one. I don't want a new one though, I want my old one.
