Journal Entries, January and February 2019

affirmations

A new focus this year in my journal is affirmations.  I wrote this short poem about being brown-skinned.  Naturally, it is easier to complement someone else.  I think that is the case for most people.   The journal affirmation pages help me remember what is good in my life and in me.

time to wish

Through the years I've collected stamps and I am using them in this year's journal pages.

Above and below are three pages that were inspired by postage stamps.

Recently I read about Colin O'Brady's 2018 solo-unsupported-unaided expedition across Antartica.  I really love what he says about obstacles and struggle and taking the next step.  Sometimes, it is a long road we have to travel.   It's often too easy to forget how much we've overcome and focus too much on what we have left to do.

Wishing everyone a good March.
