Keeping a Journal - probably most of us have attempted it, with varying degrees of success. A journal is so different from a blog. Like a blog, it may have a theme, but it has more intense focus and is entirely private. We start journals with the fervor of New Year's Resolutions. And, most of us stumble. The demands of the journal loom larger than the time on the clock. The day's priorities shift. The grand plan sinks under the weight of the reality of a congested and busy day.
