Writing in Ink
Howdy Hey Gentle Reader,
FINALLY we have lovely summer weather in the big city. Lots of rain in there too with a few big storms. Still it is DIVINE for enjoying time outdoors!
You know, I am a huge believer of writing things in ink in my calendar - yessss I kick it up old school with paper rather than everything electronic. Have always had a love affair with journals and rainbow inks! Never met a journal I didn't love at first sight!
Don't even get me started on an e-reader. Just.walk.away.
There is something though about writing things down and not using pencil. I mean how committed does one have to be when you can always erase the goal? Not much, I'm afraid. However INK says I"m in it for the journey and not afraid to look back!! (ok, using white-out CAN hide ink but it's not as foolproof as an eraser and you always know that you're hiding something - symbolic no? Your Honour, I rest my case...)
Writing in ink makes you feel like you're signing a contract with yourself and baybeh, doesn't it feel FAB-U-LOUS when you check something off on your Ta-Da list? That's the best reward!
I like keeping my journals with the items checked off. A herstory of sorts that lets me re-live all the adventures AND inspires me to go on more.
You can get some great pens and notebooks/journals at your local dollar store. Doesn't need to be fancy BUT it should be fun! The brighter/louder/wilder, the better!
Your goals must sparkle like YOU do!
Until next time...
Linda
