Towards the end of Lent, I started keeping a spiritual journal. I tell you this for two reasons. 1) I'm really enjoying it and you might too. 2) As a side effect of that, I won't be writing on my blog nearly as much (probably just for big stuff), so I'm not going to even pretend to try to post about once a week like I have tried to do in the past. It may not even be once a month. No idea. Anyway, if you don't know exactly what a spiritual journal is, I'll try to explain super quickly (or you can just click on the link above). It's generally kind of like a written prayer. Mine is slightly different, though. I usually write about a paragraph summary of my day, my feelings, my experiences, etc. Then, I put it down, read something substantial (like a passage, chapter, or book from the Bible/passage from St. Faustina's Diary/something else along those lines), reflect on it, write a short paragraph about what I got from it, or how it made me feel. Then I close with a written prayer about whatever's on my heart. It may come from something in the first paragraph, it may come from what I read about, or it may be something else. Anyway, it's been really nice to close out my day each day with this practice. I get Emma tucked in, and sneak downstairs alone for a few minutes to do my journal and prayers before I go to bed. Sometimes, on Thursdays, when I'm at adoration, I'll take my journal and do it there. As long as it's a quiet, peaceful time, it doesn't really matter what time of day you do it. It's just that night time is generally my only quiet, peaceful time anymore...
God Bless! Dana
