I kept a journal for years as a teenager. I stopped needing to when I met my husband and could talk to him about everything. Now this forum is kind of my journal. But I did keep a journal right after my husband died for a few months just so I could talk to him through letters and let him know how I was feeling. I don't really feel the need to do that anymore but I still have it.

Barnes and noble or another book store should have journals. That's where I've always gotten mine.
