Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:37:05 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/34562/journal/364797 Hey, I'm actually going to try and get a journal page written.  I wish I could get at this more often, I know so many of you are so good about doing journaling and you use it as a tool to keep up on others.....for someone whose avocation is writing, you'd think I'd be here all the t...
