"I think a journal is a place where you can mess up. You don't have to worry about showing it to anyone. Most people get really intimidated by a page, but you've got to just jump in and do it." -- Annie

From Annie's poem "Daily Praise"

Praise my window bringing in morning light
And the click of the door when I open it
Praise my soft pillow
The radio with its chime of voices to help me wake up
Praise the cup of tea
The warmth heating the palms of my hands
