Journaling is basically the act of recording your thoughts and feelings by jotting them down on a daily basis. This art has been around for hundreds of years now, and has been used by most people as a means to relieve stress and express themselves. One of the most popular journals is that one by Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator in the 1600's who made it a point to write down what happened in his lifetime-from his personal feelings, to important events that not only affected him, but affected the world, as well. These events include the Anglo-Dutch War, the Restoration of the English Monarchy, and even the Great Fire and the Great Plague of London. Now, a library in Cambridge is named after him. | 397 Journal Writing Prompts & Ideas by The Blokehead, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
