I do a daily journal. I write a bit about what’s happened each day and I also print out any photos which are appropriate and stick them in. This includes those that the family send. I’ve been doing this since January 2016 after Martha had given me a beautiful journal for Christmas. I’m now well into journal number 8 so I looked on the internet for a couple more. I found these lovely ones at WH Smiths. I really don’t need 6 right now but they were on sale, 3 for 2 with an extra discount if you spent over a certain amount. If I bought 3 my order didn’t qualify for the extra discount so I bought 6 😂🤣. They’re lovely and I was so excited when they arrived this morning. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for me to use them all.
I like to post this kind of thing on 365 because it’s a great record of when I did something, bought something, went somewhere etc. As is my journal of course.
I'm impressed by the fact that you've already got into journal #8. I try to use 365 in a similar way but I confess that, especially lately, I've been posting older throwback pictures which rather messes up the time line and of course there are very few words to add context to the pictures if I look back. Do you do your journalling through out the day or at the end of the day?
@gardencat Actually Joanne I’m almost always behind with my journal and constantly trying to catch up. However, what I do have is a note book in which I write my daily “to do” list ( otherwise I forget things 😂) and I add things that have happened/ things that I’ve done/people I’ve seen/phone conversations I’ve had etc. I also take photos, daily if I can, and of course these have a date and serve as a good reminder of what happened that day. As much as possible I only write good, positive things in my journal but this isn’t always possible e.g. when my brother died in April. That wasn’t a good, positive thing but it was important that I wrote about it.
