I don't remember when it happened, but one day I decided to become a journaler. No history, no discipline. I just took a simple notebook and filled it up with my thoughts, dreams and goals. A basic notepad was nice, but after a while something like that became so personal it was only natural to upgrade such a personal item. This simple sketchbook from the Merrythought is easy to make, has a durable cover to protect the pages, and can be refilled easily once it's filled up.
