What a glorious day! Today is the day I save paper! How? Simply by beginning this blog.
I have inherited a notebook/calendar fetish from my father. He bought many stenographer's notepads and ususally used only a few pages at the beginning of them before buying a new one. I find, as I think back, I have just as many hard cover notebooks.
There is the one I started to my daughter before she was born. I think I got to her third day old.
There is one that I wrote a great list of 10. Ten things I wanted to do in my life. I loved that journal. I taped in quotes to make me feel good from a thought a day calendar. I also wrote some not good feelings in it and tore those pages out. Thus, I had to start a new one because the old one did not look like the new feelings I had. The feelings were fresh, the book, not so much.
I have one that has nasty thoughts that I know I will get over but I need to vent and I don't want to sound like the spiteful, emotional brat that I am being at that moment.
Every new adventure gets me a new notebook. I am taking a meditation course....they asked for that notebook. I went to look after my father's affairs when he passed away. That notebook has sticky notes to divide up my thoughts.
While I believe that this blog will allow me to keep putting my thoughts to words, I am sure it will remain just as scattered as the books on my shelves.....in my drawers.....in my book bags...
Cheers, T
