same here. And last week T strongly urged me to start it up again. For one thing it is helpful, she said, to be able to go back later and look at what I was feeling at some particular time.
My handwriting is so lousy that she can't read it, so she never asks to read my journal, but she is always VERY interested when I read to her from it. The thing is, I don't have the knack that some on PC have for just putting down whatever comes up; I edit, I fine tune, i rephrase. And I end up with a journal containing thoughts that are mine, but not spontaneous thoughts.
Strangely, the more she enthused about starting to journal again, the more offput I felt. For me I think it's a defense, Soup; could your boredom be a defense also? do you suppose?
