create and maintain a Victory File

I had so much fun putting together this journal. I clipped photos, and colours from magazines and then taped them to pieces of paper.

I found a lot of good ideas in the Martha Stewart magazines so I saved them. I felt happy assembling this journal so it will be something to look for when I want to feel inspired.

I started organizing my papers and then realized I should make an Academic folder. It can be used for when I apply for jobs, too.

It feels good to get these papers organized; the transcripts, and other documentation.

I went to Staples tonight and bought a very basic plastic report book to start assembling my files.

I’m in the process of organizing my paperwork and tidying my home so this would be the right time to start looking for things that I can put in my victory file.

This feel by the wayside long ago. But I think at a time like this, it would be good for me to bring this back to life…I don’t know if really have any victories to add right now though.

I put everything together last night, including printing out a great celtic bordered front page.

Now that it’s all set up I just need to keep adding to it :)

I’ve bought the folder for this.

I’ve also brought home a few items from work to go into it.

Now I just need to get motivated to actually put it together …

This is not a new year’s resolution, but in the new year, I will physically make a file and start getting this worked on. The reason I say in the new year is because my room is a disater right now, and working 40 hours a week, I know it wont be in passable condition to where Id even want to THINK about brining another object in until after the holidays are over.

and at a time like this, I really need a boost. I need to work on my file….badly

I finally created a file in my home-office desk drawer and named it “Happiness”. I save all sorts of mementos anyway, so now they will be in a designated spot, and I can look there when I need a pick-me-up.
