AtoZ Blogging Challenge ‘ J ‘

I don’t know what happened, but I must of lost the first draft I had on the letter ‘ j ‘ … So many balls in the air, I’ve fallen be hind with the challenge but I’m going to do my best to get caught up.

Today I’m going to continue on with the letter ‘ J ‘ … s howcasing the plethora of journal’s that I have. I love to journal write, archive history, weather journal, yadayadayada. I find peace when I put pen to paper.

Here’s a look at what I call the, “Mother Ship” of my journal’s even though she’s really my planner. I keep everything in here….The daily tasks, Financial’s, Family Facts, Appointments, Menu’s, Seasonal Tasks, yadayadayada. I think you get the picture. Say hello to Ms. Serena…

This is not my first daily planner. I got introduced to my 1st daily planner by a very special person in my life, but that has since gone in my rear view mirror. I am very thankful though for being introduced to planner’s and writing b/c it has been the focus of my world of a very long time.

As I mentioned before, I have a plethora of journal’s … I use them every day at least once.

The small one to the left is one of my fav’s !! I keep a lot of very cool memories is this one along with emephera…

My “10 Year Journal” Is where I keep track of the weather over a period of time, and happenings.

Next I have my, “Made From Scratch” … Which is my Cookbook that I’m trying to write…It also dovetails w/my need to use my scrapbooking skills…

Finally, there is my, “Common Place Book“… This is where I record many of my prayer’s, meaningful sayings…

I hope you have enjoyed my journals…They are my Happy Place and whenever I’m down I turn to these journals and write something in them and it lifts me up. Either that or I just go shopping for a new one 😉 …Happy Blogging to all my fellow AtoZ Blogger’s…Blessings from Scarlet

AtoZ Letter “D”

Yes I have a (D) Journal…

I think this is one of my fav’s !!! I get to be me inside and that’s what the journal‘s means to me. I can be who I am w/no explanations…Just everything I love or not. No judgements and I’m right ALL the time 😉 …I’m not afraid to say that anymore. I’ve more than fought for the right to feel this way and it’s soooo liberating. It just feels so good and I’m really happy where I am right now.

I’m not going to share inside, well b/c I don’t want too and it’s where I make all the rules…I’m definitely one of kind, very unique. I think that’s what I love most about me. It’s taken me a long, long time to get here. Many challenges to over come. Not giving up and rising to them has made me the person I am today…

I like where I’m at and I won’t ever look back. Blessings

Thankful Thursday

Today I started a gratitude journal again !!! Being thankful can get you through anything. Loving your life can make for a very good day. In life you can suffer many losses, but if you can learn something from those losses then it wasn’t a total loss. I have lost many things, but I can honestly say everything that I’ve been through has taught me something and made me a better person. I love my life, I love my home, I’m a great mom and most of all I love my husband of 41 years. I truly am blessed <3 . I’m not perfect, but I’m pretty good and it’s all about loving yourself and God. I’m thankful for the grace that God has blessed me with. If at the the end of the day all you can say is, “Thank God, this day is over,” then that’s enough. I hope everyone had a great day…Blessings <3

My happy place…I love a world where there are October’s !!!
