This year I intend to keep it simple… and use this journal as a way to jump start my writing, but no matter the details- This year I intend to journal my Christmas– to document each day, to celebrate, to remember, to be grateful. So simple, it will be, right here in my journal (and right here on my blog). It will be filled with lists and rants and doodles… and everything else. So there.
Today is December the 1st and it is the first day of the last month of 2008 and I say WOOT to that- because I am ready to move forward and this feels like the perfect opportunity to do just that. I currently feel a bit blah, but I just have to move through that. I am learning, I am growing- and I am continuing to walk forward. This year has been an exercise in patience- a pretty constant reminder that the only pace that I can dictate is my own. So one step at a time- no matter how slow it seems. I must keep moving forward. I can’t wallow in it or wait for things to move or happened on their own. I am realizing that it is not important to know exactly where I am going- only HOW I am going.
So here it goes… another step. If you feel like joining me and many others in this wonderful documenting experieice take a look at Shimelle’s site and join us in Journaling Your Christmas.

Yes, I really respect your decision to go simple this year! This is my first year and I have so many bits and pieces that it’s going to be difficult to decide which to use. I shall keep an eye on your pages.
It’s looking good already.
I love the simplicity of this journal…the little calendar boxes are so cute–does that sound weird? Oh well, I like it and just thought I would let you know š
