I am participating in this journaling project that I wanted to share with you.  You answer one question a week for a year on a small tag, card or medium of your choice and you can make it as pretty as you like.  A blogger that I really enjoy reading put it together.  So far it has been an easy and even fun way of helping me drag a little positive energy out of my brain that is leaking mostly toxins right about now.

It’s amazing to me that I can eat so right and think so wrong.

But I am practicing restraint.

This morning when a lady I barely know told me how much her son loves Bible Study as we were both picking up our two year olds from the children’s program at BSF, I did not say to this first time mother, Enjoy these precious moments when you are bringing your two year old to Bible Study and picking them up all happy and warm and singing “Glory Hallelujah” together on the way home, because in nine years you will be sitting in an assistant principal’s office crying while he gets suspended.

You see why I might need a good journaling exercise.  If you need one too, you can sign up at this darling gal’s website.  You can see her amazing journal pictures and artwork, as well as all the other people who are participating.  As added motivation to play along, I will tell you that so far all I have used to answer my first questions is a single index card and a black fine pointed sharpie.  In other words, it’s kind of plain, but I am letting myself off the hook on the art part.  When the flowers start blooming, my cards might get prettier.
