It was hard writing this book, but I'm so glad I did.

I've journaled for many years to help "sort myself out". I rarely share my journaling with others, since my thoughts and feelings are very private to me.

The "Tough Times" I chose to write/journal about in this book were my experiences from 2015 to the Present – with the Political Turmoil, the Pandemic, and now with the Economy. I didn't realize I had so much in me, bottled up, over recent events – until I started writing. I am sharing "My Story" now, as an example of how I journal.

In reading my book, you will get:

• A Brief Overview of Journaling, especially how I do it;
• "My Story" including My Personal "Advice to Self's" to get myself Through (and Out Of) Tough Times;
• 250 Writing Prompts to get you going on your Journaling;
• Internet Search String Examples for you to find your own Writing Prompts related to your specific "Tough Times", e.g. sickness, loss, worry, loneliness, etc.;
• Encouragement all the way along for you as you journal to get better and stay better. You might find, like I did, that if you "fix the insides", the "outsides" get better all on their own.

I was going to title my book "What Just Happened? Is Happening Now, and Is Probably Going to Happen Again." – But that was just way too long. I like the title "How to Journal Through Tough Times" better. What do you think?

I hope you find my book useful. If not, I sincerely wish you find what you're looking for.
