My Texas friend, Melissa, introduced me to having a journal ~ but only of positive things… {I think she had a fancy word for it, but I can’t remember it… sorry M!}

I ordered a journal from NightOwlCraftWorks, cut out some cute pictures from an Anthropologie magazine and stuck it in my purse.

Over the last two years, I’ve pulled it out at random times to write down happy things. Lyrics, moments, phrases the kids say, poems that rattle around in my head, letters I want to remember to write…

I encourage all of you to get a journal and do the same… it is the perfect pick me up for those moments of self doubt and loneliness…
