A new journal

Confession time! I am a great list maker. I have many wonderful intentions. I enjoy writing. I have been successful in journaling in an on and off again fashion. When I am out of the country for an extended period of time, I am very faithful to record my impressions. When I am home, not so much. And mostly, not at all. There are several journals in various places in my home...in boxes in the upstairs "office", in baskets by the bed, in a pile by the fav' chair. One or two of them have daily or almost daily journal entries. Others were kept for a few weeks or a few months and then forgotten.

Last year a friend told me about her new journal. This one is for serious business...it's a ten year journal!! While surfing 'round Amazon.com, I came across 5 year journals but they are very small...like a 6x8 inch page! I called said friend and asked about hers. The genius of this journal is that each page has 4 lines for that day and all ten years of that day are on one page! So it doesn't require long entries although there are pages and pages for "continued".(There are 493 pages so there are "extra" pages, planning pages, overview pages, calendar pages-for 12 years- an address book and the "how to get the greatest value from Journal 10+" pages.) It seemed time for me to get serious about journaling! I probably shouldn't reveal this until I've been successful for a while but I am so excited that I'm sharing about this on the VERY FIRST DAY!!  The Journal10+ arrived today!!
   It would have been great to have one for the past ten years...those have been great and fortunately I did journal faithfully while in Kenya, Belize and Ireland. Wish I'd kept a better journal of other things. But this is my opportunity!
  In case you are interested, you can check it out for yourself at www.journal10.com. It is published by Because Time Flies. Now to start filling in the pages ....
