Don’t I have thoughts about it?

Of course, I do, but I don’t see a need to write them down.

Maybe I want to write something brief about the lovely walk I took with my wife on November 25.

But we said everything we wanted to say to each other.

Do I need to chronicle that or add something that’s just for me?

I must have thoughts about my functional training workout on November 21.

Is that worthy of an entry?

I offer them no thanks and have nothing I want to write about any of them.

I lasted less than a week.

I bet ‘real’ writers can journal with ease.

There are, I am certain, many potential journalers out there just waiting for the right platform.

Apple’s Journal App may be it.

I can imagine worse places to put your private thoughts.
