How are you coming with that resolution to write more in your journal?  We’re heading into the second full week of the New Year, so I hope you’re still writing.  And don’t panic if you’ve missed a day.  Just pick it up again next time that you can, and keep going from there.  Your “resolution” is really a “goal,” and those can’t be “broken,” just postponed a little bit.

Starting a new journal?  Here are some ideas for themes:

• Things you learn each day
• Things you wish you had learned earlier
• Consumerism-what did you buy today?

And here are some prompts for the week if you need them:

• What connection do you feel to the natural world?
• Choose an appliance or machine that you use regularly. What would your life be like without it?
• Where do you like to go for peace and quiet? How often do you get to do that?
• What is your favorite plant? Why do you like it?
• How have you changed in the past ten years? The past twenty?
• Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
• What is your favorite day of the week? Why do you choose that one?
