write in my journal every day for a month

Strange how something I so love doing can be so hard to find the time to actually do it. One month of journal entries down though! It’s interesting to look back over them, there’s so much in there about the day to day that I had completely forgotten about.

All days covered, once again some are just short notes but there’s a couple of long entries too. Feels a little like a chore this week. I think if I persevere I’ll relax a lot more with it over the coming week.

This is working great as a reminder. The first seven days have gone past and I have written every single day. Some entries are really short, but there’s a couple of “War and Peace” efforts in there too :)

I’ve been really conscious of writing about what Jag’s up to and also just daily stuff that’s happening around him. Even only a week later it’s eye-opening to go back and re-read what we’ve been up to this week.

I keep forgetting to write in my journal. I think it’s mostly because I’m so busy with Jag all day. It’s more important than ever that I keep up with the journaling now though because I record lots of bits about Jag – memories, development milestones, feelings … all the important stuff I’d like to be able to look back on. Or I’d like Jag to be able to look back through when he’s grown.

I’m setting this goal to act as a reminder for the month and to help me rebuild the habit.
