I am not a journal keeper. I never have been. I do consider my scrapbooking obsession of the 1990's to count as journaling. But, after my third baby was born, I just didn't keep up on it like I wanted to, so I pretty much quit. I have done some digital scrapbooking, but nothing to mention really. So, the past almost ten years are spottily documented to say the least. I have a plethora of photos that are organized by dates on my computer, but no memories or notes to go along with them. The thought of "catching up" is beyond overwhelming. So.... as I was exploring Pinterest (or maybe I should say wasting time on Pinterest) I came across this journaling idea... so maybe it wasn't wasted after all! It was a simple list of about 30 questions that you answered each day. I thought "I can do that!" As I clicked and clicked I ended up here:
365 Questions -- a five year journal found here {http://debbiehodge.com/2012/01/5-year-journal-01/}
She suggests answering the same question on the same day for five years.. Interesting thought... For example, June 26th's question is : Were you 'good' or 'bad' today? How will I answer that today and how will I answer it next year and the next and so on. Interesting concept right?
She has a little box with 3x5 type cards that she decorates all scrapbooky and it is adorable. But I want to do this project, right? So, I shun that idea, no offense. It's just not my thing. She suggests, for those of us less inclined to do the cutesy thing, to get a notebook. I like that, but I just might misplace it or forget about it. After all, I am on the computer EVERY DAY! So, here is my plunge.. I created a blog just for this. This is the method to my madness today.
