So, my last journal was all about change, endings that lead into new beginnings. On Monday I finished off the last page and have just shipped it home to go into my bookcase. Today, I am starting with a fresh one. I am sitting here, taking off the case, removing the extra pages, holding it in my hands… Wondering, what will the next month(s) bring that will fill this small book in my hands. Will it be filled with joy, laughter, tears? Will there be even more change or maybe this time it will be filled with relationships, love, friendship that will last a lifetime. What stories will my mind conjure, will the soul pets finally finish their adventure with the Sandman?
When I was younger, I would sit and write thoughts, daydreams, and tears, a cheap notebook of paper and a cheap pen serving as my tools. Most of those old notebooks are gone, never to be found again. Sometimes that makes me sad and other times very happy, why carry around the sadness of the past when with but a flick of the wrist it can go away with no reminders.
Now days, I have many a journal. Leather bound, beautiful hand crafted papers (my favorites) and these wonderful Moleskine’s that are small enough to fit in my purse so I can write whenever a thought runs through my mind. I have ended up falling in love with nice fountain pens (evil things, whatever happened to my $1.00 pens that I could find anywhere?) and now have a couple that I use to write my thoughts as they flow from my head.
But today it is all about new beginning, what quote should I put on the front, what thought should start this one off to take me into the new future.
