Journal or Diary?

A personal journal is a record of significant experiences. It is much more personal than a diary. It contains feelings, emotions, problems, and self-assurances and can be used to evaluate one's life. For a journal, one does not just record one's experiences but also thoughts, feelings, and reflections.
My blog is a journal of my experiences in Second Life and sometimes emotions and problems occurred. I like to look back throughout the months and years how even life in Second Life changes. I suppose it is not much different than in Real Life because each of us is connected to that life. 

Many people have this notion that to journal effectively you have to sit down and write pages and pages of poetic language about your feelings. But really, journaling just means setting aside a little quiet, undistracted time to sit down and think about your life. Just like any habit, journaling is a practice that can take a while to get into. Try dedicating just five minutes each day and see how you can grow from there!

Save it for a rainy day when you need to read something to cheer you up when you need to see what you have done when you feel you were creative.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
