Weekly journaling – week 32

Posted on August 16, 2018 by You Can Always Start Now Posted in HomeTagged creative prompts, journaling, writing

Aug 6 The best things in life are free:

books (I am a big library user)
inspiring conversations with people who get me
meditation
walking

Aug 7 My on-line happy place. This would be the Blogger Facebook groups I am in. They are so incredible supportive and I feel like I have found my tribe. Thank you guys!

Aug 8 What is in my bag of tricks. Fast come-backs to sarcastic remarks. Knowing what bus to take pretty well anywhere in the city.

Aug 9 3 things I’m thankful for today

The rain last night and this morning. The air feels fresher and less heavy.
That I have no plans tonight. So I hope to catch up on odds and ends.
I got a drive part of the way home.

Aug 10 How I like to doodle in the margins. I’m not a doodler. If you hand me paper and pen I will make a list. If I am doodling it is on the dining room table with paint.

Aug 11/12 These are a few of my favorite things:

O is for orangutan. I feel no explanation needed.
P is for peace. Peace in the world and peace in myself.

You can always start now!

I’ve started doodling again in my bullet journal (mine is nearly all function) and it’s been wonderfully relaxing!!

I’m not a doodler either! But I do love my lists! I think knowing how to use a bus system is a great life skill – one I have never mastered!

    Pretty bad she reports on the air quality every day. I’m on the east coast and we have had a hotter than normal summer but have had rain.

    We had frost early in June that affected farms i.e. blueberries. July/August hot and humid. It is cooling down now but you are right not a great summer weather wise for farmers or anyone with breathing problems actually.
