A Line a Day.. Journaling
Just before the start of last year, I stumbled upon this post by Design Sponge for a Calendar Journal. I immediately knew this was something I wanted to do just without all the cutting and loose index cards. I liked the idea but the execution was not something that would fit into my life. I could just imagine D having his fun with the index cards, stuffing them into the vents. Yes, that is his new hobby. : )
So as of 2011 I started my one line a day journal. I liked the idea of one line.. you really had to sort through the events of the day and focus on one. It was your choice if you chose to remember a fight or the making up ;) It made me smile everyday before bed as I ran through the images of the day.. well almost everyday.. there were as there always are bad days too.
In all my excitement I forgot to check how many pages my little notebook had.. and also forgot that I had used this notebook before and had torn out a few pages. My notebook ended in the middle of December, which was not going to work. Obviously. Who would buy another notebook? Who was going to fill in all those pages again with the events of the year passed? So I added the last few pages myself. It was all fine until I reached those pages and they start to tear out.. this notebook wasn't going to last me years to come.. this one was barely holding on to dear life by the end of it first year. I needed a new journal and so the search began.
In hindsight I am glad my little notebook fell apart. Else I would never have found this one.
Do you keep a journal? What do you love most about keeping a journal or diary?
Thank you for including one of my journals.

I have a thing for Moleskin notebooks. I love their simplicity and the fact that you can choose a line or grid layout for the inside.
ReplyDeleteI love journaling.... although my blog has taken its place. I loved filling the pages with words and doodles and little keepsakes. It was so cathartic.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love getting a new journal. The empty pages are always SO inspiring! That red bird one is adorable.
thank you for stopping be and leaving me such a sweet comment! :)
ReplyDeletei lovee lovee lovee journaling! its such a nice window to look into the past :D
as much as i love blogging, there's something really personal about sitting down
with a pen and paper at hand and just pouring out your thoughts!
can't wait to hear more from you!

I love the one you chose! I used to keep written journals until I got a hold of a pc. Thanks for reminding me how cool they are, I think I'm going to start one myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and certainly the perfect journal...you've given me inspiration to do this myself!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! great idea, a line a day! I keep a couple of journals in my bag at all times... a sketching journal and a writing journal, though I very often write in the sketching journal and vise versa. Thank you for including one of my journals here!

i really love that idea of writing one sentence a day. it boils things down to the most significant item. and how great that they make a journal specifically for that!
