My dad loves to write anything under the sun. He can go on the whole day just writing about anything that comes to mind, he finds a sense of fulfillment knowing that he didn’t miss any thoughts he had in mind and kept it in a journal.
That is why I was thrilled to find a nice assortment of fine leather journals at this online store. Since father’s day is just around the corner, I couldn’t think of a better gift than this to give to my dad who has a great passion for writing.
I like keeping something to write with on me, but I usually lose those tiny notebooks from drug stores and all my thoughts or notes to myself are lost forever. Someone recommended that I try keeping writing journals on my person, so as not to lose them so easily. I found this great journal with the phrase, “She decided to start living the life she’d imagined” emblazoned on its cover. It’s a really cool book that I can fit into my back pocket or in my bag. It’s memorable enough that I don’t think I’ll leave it at a store while I’m trying to write down a scarf that I may want to buy later.
These days, I’m finding that it’s extremely helpful to keep track of my thoughts and goals in a journal. It harkens back to my days as a young adult and while it may come off as juvenile, keeping a personal journal allows me to maintain my day-to-day life with great ease.
Eventually I came across the Achieve Every Day Journal, a simple, yet beautifully bound notebook. I seldom have found hardcover journals that I like, either due to poor stitching or ugly cover designs, but Achieve has such an understated look that I’m not ashamed of taking my book out in public with me.
When you go shopping for a pair of shoes, it takes time to find the right ones, with a comfortable fit, something that will last, and hold up considering wear and tear. Selecting a journal to write in can be the same depending on your needs.
You may wish to determine the type of journal you want, prior to purchasing one, or you might just fall in love with a journal the minute you pick it up. This is great if you are in a store and can touch the journal and look inside. Not all stores carry a vast selection of journals. You might prefer shopping online for that one special journal. If you do, then you may want to think about the type of journal you are looking for.
Here are a few questions to get you thinking about what the right journal might be for you:
Another aspect of keeping a journal is to figure out if it will be archived - saved for years so that the grand children and great-grandchildren can enjoy your thoughts. A sturdy acid free journal would be beneficial in this case.
One consideration too is the cost. When purchasing a journal as a gift, you might be tempted to spend a little more money. If it’s for yourself, you might spend a little less. You might not care.
A journal doesn’t have to be anything more than a binder with some 3 hole punched sheets inside. Just as a pair of shoes need not be more that a pair of flip flops. But, there are those occasions where you want something a little nicer, a little sturdier, something which fits your style, thus enabling you to write with flare. If you are stepping out with style in a new pair of shoes, why not try stepping out with a new journal?
