stonepicnicking_okapiAnd query for my flist:
Do you journal? If so, what about?
The issue is I have two daily agenda/schedule/calendar books for 2021. One, serviceable one I bought at Staples, which I plan to use as my 'Mom' one with to-do lists, reminders, dentist appointments, etcetera.
The other one is a nice Edward Gorey agenda book that my sister gave me for Christmas and I want to do something with it. It has a lot of nice artwork itself, some of which I've never seen before.
Ideas:
A diary (I've never been very good at keeping a diary but the daily section is small).
A creative journal (for my own poems. Or for things that inspire me or things I like.)
A crafting journal (I have my miniature coffee shop).
I have heard of gratitude journals. I don't know much about them other than the obvious.
Do you have/keep New Year's resolutions?
I suppose I could use it to keep track of resolutions but that seems a bit, well, sad, because I'd like it to be fun and resolutions are always a bit awful.
Anyway, if you do something with a journal or have any ideas about any of this, drop me a comment.

I recall the wider organisation I work for, looking at fixing stress, by promising to recruit many more of us, then to recruit a few more, then to simply reduce folk leaving, then proposed handing out packs at meetings containing gratitude journals and chocolate buttons, with links to meditation apps... helpful gestures, but...
And yes...embroidered shopping lists, for those with more time than sense...
