Journal 4

Favorites. 

It has been too long since my last topic suggestion so this time lets write a page (or two) about our favorite things!  You can write it in list format (my preference) or just write about anything that you think of as one of your favorites.  Here are a few suggestions:  color, number, food, restaurant, day of the week, book, song, band, beverage, thing to do on the weekend, people, flower,city, thing to do in Chicago, etc.  The list could go on and on.  You can just simply write one word for each thing or elaborate and tell why, for example, Marios Tacos in Blue Island is your favorite restaurant of all time!  Yum-o! Its totally up to you.  So tell me, what is your favorite thing to do when in the beautiful city of Chicago?

Journal 3

Lately I've been thinking about all the places I want Kevin and I to take the girls.  Some places I've been to and some would be a new experience for all if us.  Kevin is fortunate enough to have visited ALL 50 states!  A goal I want to set for myself and for Jessica and Sara.  Since Sara and I (and on occasion Jess) have stomachs that are not always conducive to traveling, that could be challenging, but its a goal I want to accomplish nonetheless.  I'm at 22 and the girls have been to 8 so we have lots of miles to log for sure!  So, write in your journal about where you'd like your next trip to be to! It can be anywhere.  Not necessarily a dream vacation (a later journal topic) but someplace you are possibly going to visit sometime in the next couple of years.  Talk about why you picked this place, whether you've been there or not, and if it has any particular meaning to you.  Can anyone guess where this picture is taken?  Be as specific as you can be. :) 

Journaling 1

There were a few of you that sounded a little bit interested in journaling along with me.  I'm hoping this will help me post more regularly but, no promises.  :)  We won't be sharing anything we write in our personal journals.  I will simply suggest a topic to write about.  You write in yours, I write in mine.  Easy peasy.  You are, of course, welcome to comment about it if you'd like, but your journal is meant for you, mine for me.  I've never kept a journal or diary so this will be a first.  I wanted to give it a try so here goes!  This is what my journal looks like...

 

I picked it up at Home Goods for a few bucks.  I am really into the color mustard yellow right now and I thought it was pretty.  It was made in India.  The pages have no lines but that's okay.  My writing looks like chicken scratch with or without lines.  The paper inside is thick and a bit textured. 

 

So, my suggestion for your first entry as we start 2013 is to write about your hopes, dreams, goals and thoughts for the new year!  You can write as little or as much as you'd like.  You can list things out or write pages...up to you.  I plan on being back very soon with another topic.  Write on!

See you soon...
