Another Journaling Milestone

This evening, I finished my first Summer journal with roughly 219 pages journaled and roughly 6 other pages of lists in the back. I started it the Summer of 2005. This is only the second journal I've completely filled, ever. (The first one was my first Winter journal the Winter before this one just passed). Until I started using 1 journal for each Season (therefore only writing in one for 3 months at a time), I had journal ADD. So far I've journaled 62 pages this Summer, more than most Seasons and I'm very pleased. I've started using my journal for all of my writings, regardless of genré, i.e. book reviews & discussion questions, daily CoW half hour writings, CoW weekly kickers, fiction pieces, novel idea's, my daily 3 pages (aka "Morning Pages" though mine aren't always done in the a.m.), crafting idea's & notes and my "Timepieces." I haven't done this before and I like having everything all together. I'll continue this in my new Summer journal which has Van Gogh's "Starry Night" on the cover.

I have journal ADD, too! I started journals for all of my kids years ago. Then the entries got further and further apart. Then I'd try to catch them up and knowing that I was going to have to write pages and pages was just too overwhelming. So then I didn't even start. And now I'm so sad about not having kept them up!

That's awesome, Jo! I think putting it in one place is a great incentive to keep going and also gives a great feeling of satisfaction at all you've done.

Aaawww Lisa! Maybe you can make scrap books or memory boxes in lieu of the journals?

Thanks Teri! I'm starting my new Summer journal today.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
