A week of journaling all today..just for me and you too!

Yesterday and today I completed ALOT of my "ToDo" list. If I didnt make a list I wouldnt get anything done. It reminds me and encourages me especially when I am able to mark off things off the list so thats beneficial to my well being.

Today or really this evening I helped Kathy pack 13 page kits for Crop A Ganza and this was done in less than two hours ladies. So really it IS possible!

So on to the WHOLE week of journaling prompts because I just didnt get to them I guess.

Monday, January 10


*Am I happy with my job, life, and situation? Yes to all 3 What parts are good?Love my job, but its frustrating, I have to use the answer "Im not a Nurse" ALOT! What parts are bad? I wish my husband could be pain free and happy and active its quite frustrating to be so active alone.

* What are you thankful for?  My family and my job. So many people have lost jobs; marriages falling apart around me. I am just trying to hold on.

*When have you realized you were really wrong in your judgment about someone?  I trusted someone to be really genuine about our friendship when you realize its only a useful relationship when they need something. So over that, you should only appreciate your friends.

Alicia,

I just wanted to tell you that reading this blog was like talking to you. You are so aware of who you are, it's amazing!

As far as not being able to fill in the blanks on what you have taught someone -- oh my gosh girl!! How about organization? I told Chuck the other day that I always thought I was organized until I met you! :) And how about caring? I still remember you bringing scrapbook books to read over to me when I had my first knee surgery. No one else did that!

You spread happiness wherever you go. I still miss you at my work place but I also wish you the best in where you are now.

Let me know when I can come scrap with you!!!

I LOVED reading this! Your journaling is great! You have taught me many things over the years, my friend. Not just about organization but about being a good person and staying positive. I love when we get to hang out-you are just too much fun and so easy to have a convo with! I am looking forward to GANZA with you...come check out my pretty organized paper any time you want! Now, if I could just find a container big enough to keep it all in!
