Everyday "Oh Life" the online journal sends me an email and asks "How was your day?" That's all, the same thing everyday and the idea is that I will respond and have a lovely little collection of my thoughts, daily activities, challenges, highs and lows, etc. etc., Usually I write at least a one liner. Some days I vent. Some days I tell stories. Often I just write one word answers... like "fine, great, long, delightful, hard, busy, sunny, you get the idea.
The month of April I hardly wrote. I wish I had but it is hard to go back and fill in each day the same way I would have had I written in the present. But I realized looking back on the day and reflecting causes me to look for the good that has happened and process the not so good. I need that moment to order my thoughts and clear my head, so to speak.
Tomorrow I will pick it back up and make a go of it again. I will try and fill my days with what matters most. Thank you Gina for a wonderful reminder to put the many things that call for my time and attention in perspective, your lesson was wonderful.
Here's to a new day and renewed effort. Goodnight!

I've gotten into the habit of automatically deleting those e-mails each night. I guess because I'm not mentally there to write a full journal entry. But I like your idea of writing just a sentence or two. I'll have to try it.
