The way I described isn't original with me. I got the information from other sources on journaling. According to the dictionary, they're the same thing, but I think people who are serious about journaling prefer the delineation I made. Jay,

I am like the comment above. I had no idea of the difference. I always looked at them as the same thing. Based on your description, I have and keep a journal. I don't write in it daily or on some schedule but I do write in it. I want to keep my thoughts and ideas along with what is happening to me so that I can keep track of my life. Just as a copywriter, I have to test test test, but if I don't know what I have tested and what the results where I have lost out on valuable information. I do the same for my life. I keep track of what's going on from time to time so that I can look back and see how I have grown. Thanks for your post. Jay What a unique way of looking at diaries and journals.

I don’t think it’s really important what you call it – as long as you’re connecting the dots, whatever you call is is serving the purpose.

I guess I just never considered my "logs" as diary entries. I do connect the dots (without even planning to). I also happen to go through old entries to compare silly patterns of behavior and health-related issues just like you.
