I still have Grandma's "daily" journals that she jotted down in "free" little notebooks. Some days were just the weather, others were how she was feeling, but they remind me of who she was. Keep writing - the girls will read those journals one day and say "That's my Mom".

Just wait until you start your second, third, fifth years and you can look back and remember...start to see patterns in the things you notice at different times of the year. And what a great way to capture small memories of your kids as they grow! ENJOY!

I also have lots of blank journals that have been given to me as gifts (for the future?). But I cling back to the lined & bound cheap notebooks. Hard to break a habit, too, as well as to make one. The thing I like about this ten year journal is you'll be able to look back & see those 'little words' which will bring back "big memories".Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-34773290693846409922012-01-17T18:42:07.195-06:002012-01-17T18:42:07.195-06:00I just ordered a five year journal that someone po...I just ordered a five year journal that someone posted about recently. In fact, I got one for me, for my husband, and for my mom. I am excited about the possibility of following through. It seems doable. Thanks for the peek inside!

Hello, I need to read that list over again post something. I'm at loose ends today, so maybe writing will tie me to something worthwhile!!Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535989955846532310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-43282974407090374852012-01-17T15:34:25.503-06:002012-01-17T15:34:25.503-06:00Neat journal -- a lot like my new one!

I've also written my few lines EVERY DAY so far. Good job on yours, and keep that purple pen moving! :-) My favorite part of your post was the first part though, because I had the EXACTLY the same cycle -- buy pretty notebook and get excited, write for a little while, let pretty notebook get buried on a shelf someone, think that a new pretty notebook will motivate me, & repeat. Great description! <br /><br />P.S. My first thought was "OOH, you linked to me!!!" followed by "Did you just imply that I'm a great writer?!" So thanks, although I don't think I deserve it!JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-15636722282600910942012-01-17T10:01:05.382-06:002012-01-17T10:01:05.382-06:00Great job!

If it weren't for asking my kids to write I might go weeks without sitting down to write myself. I try to follow others' great advice to model so when I my students write I at least start with my notebook. When they read I make sure I carve out some time to be reading as well (and make all the other adults in my room do the same!)In ten years minus 16 days will we still be slicing? You'll have to tell us if you make it.Kristi Lonheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541224246393137201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-13205471428412706462012-01-17T08:38:01.719-06:002012-01-17T08:38:01.719-06:00I love reading everyone's process with noteboo...I love reading everyone's process with notebooks as I try to feel my way through this foreign territory. Slowly a process will morph for me. I have to admit I did browse the journal section of Barnes & Noble on Sunday. It's a small step, but at least a step.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-88147203421269833092012-01-17T08:23:16.161-06:002012-01-17T08:23:16.161-06:00I've become so tech oriented that I've sto...I've become so tech oriented that I've stopped carrying around a notebook (GASP!). I use the notes feature on my iPhone now to jot things I want to write about. Your post is making me think it's time to start writing on paper again.
