One Line a Day

Description

Why use a one-line-a-day, five-year journal? There is something wonderful about taking a few minutes at the end of the day to reflect. If you don’t already use a journal, this is an exciting and easy way to begin. All you have to do is fill a few lines with what happened in your day. Write about the weather, your family, the restaurant where you had dinner, or even how late you slept. Write about frustrations, joys, and love. Write about special or even mundane events.That’s all it takes. It doesn’t have to be profound, though it certainly could be. After a year of writing a few lines each day, the fun of this journal begins. Patterns will become apparent or you might create new patterns. Maybe you and a group of friends went out on May 9th for dinner. What if you all decided to do it again the next May 9th, and the year after that? A fun tradition began because your journal reminded you of a fun evening. When a difficult day is on the horizon, this journal could help you better prepare for it by reminding you that you made it through to the other side. Five years seems like a long period of time. But when we look back, we discover those days, weeks, months, and years have blown past us. If we capture a few moments each day, we see just how important those years were in our lives. Begin today. Begin on New Year’s Day. Begin on your birthday. But begin. Your journey is important. Your life is special.
