Did you do it? I did! I wrote every single night of the 21 Day Journaling Challenge. Half of my entries are on my computer and half are on paper, but hey, I DID it!! I have a certain sense of pride and it really was a LOT easier than I thought it would be. I only had to turn to the entry idea questions twice. My life turned out to be a bit more exciting than I expected. 🙂 If you did not make it all 21 days or did not try, I exhort you to start. (Ok, it’s true, I just wanted to use the word exhort.) Just for fun, here are a couple of excerpts…
“Today my little guy learned to say bus and block. He also learned to lock mommy out of the car. We went to Target and I let him “ride” a tricycle because I am deciding what to get him for his half birthday. We are celebrating his half birthday since his birthday is in December and close to Christmas. Anyway, he was mad that I took him away from the bike (he said bike all the way to the checkout) and so I let him hold the keys. He was still whining when we got to the car so I put him in the car first and then proceeded to load the bags in the back. Unfortunately, I failed to remember that he had the keys and loves to push the buttons. So naturally he locked me out. I freaked out because it was an 80+ degree day and the car gets pretty hot. I tried yelling through the window for him to push the button, but he just kept pushing the lock button that makes the car honk and people stare. I got really nervous that he would not get it to unlock so I called my hubby and told him he would have to come. Luckily, after about 5 minutes Aiden pushed the unlock button and I was able to get in. I have learned my lesson about getting the keys back before putting him in his car seat.”“Tonight, we took the little guy to Check E. Cheese’s for the first time. I could not get the tokens fast enough. He walked right in and jumped on a ride with someone else while it was going. Luckily, it was a carousel that spun like one mile per hour. I had to wait in line and I think he had shared three rides with people before I got his tokens. It was so fun. We saw Megan a contestant from American Idol there.”
So, now that I have this journaling “habit” down, I may as well start another one right?! I will conquer my goals 21 Days at a time. 🙂 Keep your eyes peeled for the next challenge. I won’t start today because it is my birthday and I deserve a day off right?!
Too bad there still are not enough candles. Times that by two (or more).
