I am infinitely surprised at how your blog fits glove-tight into the avenue of my own life’s journey these days. I so appreciate your candor and reality about the ups and downs that are part of the human condition. Bless your journey and how it inspires me!

I'm all in for a few sentences every day - I have no fewer than THREE journals next to my bed - they aren't even for different things especially, and I would love to be writing in them. I find that I do better with end of day reflections than beginning of day intentions as such.

...I say that, but intentions wise, I have been creating daily to-do lists in the mornings. Because I personally like getting to check things off of a physical list, this has been lovely for me, and it includes things like •making the list, •drinking water, •working on art, and any thing I think I might want to do during the day, enjoyable as well as tasks/chores. I don't feel like I HAVE to finish every item on the list, but I feel good at the end of the day about what I have accomplished. I made no resolutions about this, I just made a few lists for hosting during the holidays, and it has carried over.

Anyway - I'd especially love to journal my favorite bit of the day, and something I'm grateful for.

Maybe I'll add it to my list. ☺️

Doing a check in. ☺️ I've been going strong (most nights) with writing just a bit - putting it on my check list definitely keeps it present for me. I hope February is off to a good start! 💕

👀 What works to help you carve out that time? I'm doing well at sticking with that to-do list lately, but I'm experimenting with changing out a few things - namely, every (ha, the 1½ so far this year) month, I'm trying out throwing in an artistic type challenge that I spend around 15-20 minutes on(next month I'm thinking I should fiddle around with my guitar - and no, I do not play guitar. But I kinda want to) most days. Or not, things don't always happen, but I've been dutifully putting them on my list, and they happen more often because of it. So what works for you?
