Health Journal
I find this journal helpful in a multitude of ways including that it helps keep track of the many problems one can face when dealing with chronic illness like myself. I forget the little things that happen between my doctors visits and keeping a journal like this would help me keep track of everything as well as seeing what things would be beneficial for me to do as well as not do.

Gratitude Journal
This link isn't so much another journal but it is a way to post what one is grateful for in a kind of minimalist way. I appreciate the way this site is set up; it makes it easy for me to think about what I need to appreciate in life.

Sketchbook Journal
This link is to a blog about journals and sketchbooks. So many times a sketchbook is seen as something an art student keeps to hone their skills of observation and control, but drawing an be therapeutic. Even if you're not good at drawing it doesn't mean you can't. Anyone can pick up a pen or pencil and start to draw what they see or what they want to see, even doodle. Keeping a sketchbook is a wonderful way to journal in a new creative way.

 The type of journal I chose was a gratitude journal because the way it was set up online was easy to use and giving thanks is something I don’t do in my journals. This is why I want to starts because it’s very easy to get lost in a swirling vortex of how life sucks that I forget everything that’s going good in my life. Obviously I posted about what I was grateful for today which was about how my schooling is going really well this semester and how I’ve been able to stay on top of things. This kind of journal people don’t reply because it’s a personal online journal.
