My first journals were in
small sketchbooks, now they live on assorted hard drives and discs. My next goal is to find a home for all these
falling apart journals. I’ve sent off
one letter and gotten no response. The
many years of journaling weigh on me, and I’d like to know this part of my life
is safe somewhere. Perhaps I need expert
guidance with all this.
Most mornings I struggle a
bit to find the words for the Shop Facebook page. I’ve struggled a little to post here every
day this month too. I don’t think I’ve
said anything particularly intellectual, caring, or even revealing. Little personal, tho yesterday I gave away
that I love Taco Tuesdays at the Brigantine.
Then again you knew that. All in
all, I have really enjoyed NoJoMo this year.
I’m taking a day or two
off. Saving the month’s entries, the
pictures, all that stuff to my backup HD and thumb drive. Smiling, stretching, and finishing the Christmas Cards.
I hope your days off are productive for you!
ReplyDeleteI BOUGHT the cards, now I have to ADDRESS the cards. The second part is not very easy. We'll see if I can get them out early next week. Hope your days off help you get everything accomplished.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteI got rid of the really badly designed cards. I'm up to the G's now. Next is the Christmas letter via email...but I don't have anything to say this year. LOL
Keeping a journal is something that I never managed. That is probably one reason why I blog and have been doing so for a long time. Even though it's not exactly a journal it is some sort of record of my life.
ReplyDeleteI too have a pile of jounals no one will ever read, not even me. Stopped journaling when one of them became part of an EEO case. Dirty rotten lawyers. What I wrote worked against their client. Haha. Always document office stuff.
ReplyDeleteWould your daughters like those journals?
ReplyDeleteThere are an appalling number of them. Sketchbooks, archival boxes, and now thumb drives...and all the discs that go with the above. LOL No, I don't think they would. I'd rather have them out at State.
DeleteI got rid of all but one of my journals. Stuff I didn't want my kids to read. Now I can't seem to keep one at all. Goes along with my greatly reduced blog posts.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of my old journals too. Some got moldy here in Hawaii. Some are in a fire safe box and the rest here and there. My journal now is my blog.
ReplyDeleteI still struggle with preserving stuff, but I also must be realistic in that many who follow me will not care! Those who will probably care are generations away.
ReplyDeletemy only journalling is that I still love hand-written to do lists for work. I found a wonderful site, Jane's Agendas, and she did an amazing Nov. 16-Dec. 17 custom journal for me. :) Enjoy your days off!
