I used to do this ALL the time, at least once a day, often more. I do realize looking back through my journals that I am most prolific in my journalling when things are bad…Korenie said it already – and this is what I want – I want to capture some of the good times (which are NOW!) and not just the crappy times – I want to be able to look back on these times and remember how good they are – and know they can happen again if I’m in a rough patch.

I used to do what ravanne1 mentioned – things I’m grateful for and list things I like, etc. I spent a couple months starting each journal entry with a list of some sort – even outfits, or snack foods… usually this would prompt some sort of longer entry.

I miss it terribly, but I can’t really figure out why I’m not doing it so that I can fix it.

virtuous circle
n.
A condition in which a favorable circumstance or result gives rise to another that subsequently supports the first. Also called virtuous cycle.

Making the world a better place through iteration.

I added it and like what, 10 minutes later, give up? Well, not exactly. It’s a never-ending pursuit for me – I buy books in quantities weekly that unless I quit my job (and not even then) could I ever read them all.

So – compromise. I will add a thing for a reading list.

Work with me, people.
