I love the idea of keeping a journal. I love brand-new books with blank pages just waiting to be filled in. I used to buy them regularly until it became obvious that I was not using them, I think I just love the idea of keeping or having one more than actually doing it. At the beginning of the week, my friend Holly posted a picture on her Twitter account of a calendar page, much like the one you see below. She had written some notes from her personal Bible study from that morning. As I looked at that, I don't blasted I needed something more on that level. A place to jot quick notes and not feel pressured to fill-in pages and pages with how I was feeling and what happened that day, because I did feel that pressure.
So, I went to Dollar Tree and picked up a calendar. It has been great. It has been much easier for me to pick up the calendar and record a few thoughts, jot down a prayer request or write down a question I'm praying about. Yesterday's question was, "Can you throwaway cake?"
Just wanted to share this with you like Holly shared it with me. It has made a good little difference in my life this week. Do you keep a record of your days?
You certainly can throw away cake. ;) This is how I am trying to do gratitude this year. Not numbering or listing, but simply writing something down in each day's square.
ReplyDeleteStacey, I like that idea of using it for writing down things you're grateful for. I keep a year-long calendar for organizing my blog editorial calendar, but I only use the big month-on-one-page page. I like the idea of using the weekly pages for keeping track of other things that have happened.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky!!
