As I sit here and look out of the window, it is such a beautiful day. I was thinking, it is less than 90 days remaining in 2011. This time of year, I usually do self-reflection. I ask myself: "look back on this year which of your goals have you reached"? "Which ones haven't you reached? Has it been a good year"? "A productive or non-productive year"?
Friend, as a word of encouragement to you, take some time to ask yourself these questions as well and dot down your answers. I have an even better idea! Take this time to get a journal and journal your answers, this way when you read your journal this time next year you can see the progress you have made.
I always have kept a journal. Even as a little girl, I kept a diary. My thoughts, my ideas, my successes, my challenges and whatever else I decide to keep track of where my life is concerned. I invite you to do the same. You never know what may happen. Your journal may end up a book ...**wink**!
Life is ever changing. Things happen and as time moves forward we often forget about them. Capture those precious moments of your life and then go back and read them just to see how far you have come. You would even surprise yourself! Keep moving, stay on purpose, and have an awesome week!

I have been trying to keep a journal, but I haven't been keeping up with it very good. I write the bad things, but I need to write the good things too. I guess that's why I haven't been writing, because things are going pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, I want to encourage you to start back! I also want to challenge you take it to another level: 1) journal your accomplishments for the week. 2)journal any challenges or concerns you need to revisit 3)come up with solutions for challenges or concerns 4) journal what you did not accomplish this week and set as a goal for next 5) celebrate your accomplishments. Try this for awhile, you will find you are making some giant steps to what you are trying achieve... Let me know how it turns out for you... Big hugz my dear!
