Journal Mondays

Make a list of fifty items in your home that you don’t need and/or haven’t used in the last six months. Plan to give them away the next time someone calls for collection of unused items; or if you know of a place that accepts drop offs, package the items and deliver them this week….

Journal about a scent you associate with your grandfather (or grandmother). Include how that scent affects your memory of them.

Today, write a letter to yourself at fourteen with at least ten things you know now that you wish you knew then. Tomorrow, write a letter to your future self at eighty with at least ten dreams or hopes for the future.

Journal about five things you have said to someone that you wish you had not said. Briefly write about each conversation (who, what, where, when, etc), why you wish you had not said it, and how you wish you had responded.
