Lesson 883: Journaler

 Hello, Readers.

The winter marches on,

but the birds don't seem to mind.

I've grown to enjoy winter,

especially the sunrises.

Some a golden glow,

others a blue hue.

Winter sunsets,

although early,

also demand their own kind of

special attention.

Weather-- you love her 

or hate her.

In regard to this winter,

we are through the long part.

I swiped this from a few facebook friends

I saw posted this very smart visual.

These smart Huskie fans 

knew they were in my  lens

at the basketball game.

Basketball makes the long part of winter

fun.

I noted the cold temperatures

as well as the basketball scores 

in my journals.

The snapshots above are from my 5 Year diary.

I'll be finished with it this December.

It's fun to look back to see what we were doing

on this date in years prior.

It's also good to know that 
January 22nd is Hot Sauce Day.

I never care about when I start a journal.

As you can see I also don't care about rotating 

these photos tonight.

I'm tired.

I'm tired,

but I'm also a journaler.

Spellcheck doesn't like the word journaler--

I'm getting a red squiggly line beneath it,

indicating it's spelled wrong.

Maybe journaler isn't a word.

Maybe I just made up a unique word.

I almost didn't use the word for the blog title tonight.

Journaler.

It sounds like Yodeler.

I don't like Yodeling.

It's annoying.

Nevertheless,

I have lots of journals.

I love writing,

therefore one can never have

too much paper.

Each has a function--

and if later I think of a better use for it,

I'll rip the pages out 

and start something new.

This one is for note taking for any

Gardening classes I take.

This one is helping me keep track of

curious things,

because my 2025 Word of the Year 

is curiosity.

My favorite days are when I come across

a Happy Person,

randomly drawn

in Natalie's scratchy hand.

I have a special pen case for my

favorite pens, markers, 

and beloved book tabs.

Note how the book light I got for Christmas

looks like Hazel!

Journaling,

no matter how one goes about it,

is very good for you.

journaling,

Curious about it?
Take Ryan Holiday's advice:
Start now.

Goodnight, Readers.

Got to make note of this day

in my journal

before the clock strikes midnight.
