keep a journal every day for a year

Who knew having a baby would be this time consuming! Just kidding, I did have some idea. I put my journal away in my bedside table when I arrived home from the hospital and haven’t touched it since. So I will try and restart this one tonight.

Because I keep my journal on my bedside table, I usually don’t remember to write in it till it’s time for bed. I was just switching my light off when I saw it. Scribbled a couple of lines real quick and then fell asleep. Perhaps I need a new plan. I know for sure that I don’t write so well when I’m tired.

363 to go! I was going to wait and start this on the day the munchkin is born, but I decided why wait. So instead I started on Oct 1st. I know I won’t have any trouble with things to write about. My main problem will be remembering to write every day. I’m keeping my journal on my bedside table with my current book, so hopefully I can’t forget it that way.

I am good at keeping a journal sporadically, but I would love to be more consistent about it. The plan is to start on the day the babe enters the world. I would love to have a record of his/her first year. And of course I hope that by the time I get to the end of the year, it will be such an ingrained habit that I will keep it up forever.
