My journals

Dear friends, It has been a long time since I have been here. No longer interested in blogging but my dear friend Jamie Ridler and others are interested in all the journals I use. I counted 23 but I think there are more.... *yearly diary keeps track of commitments for the year...a month per double page *weekly diary records the weeks commitments on a single page *daily journal records what is happening through my day *special happenings journal for things that happen in my days that are extra special like visiting a gallery, my birthday celebrations *night journal records in 2 or 3 lines what I am grateful for about my day *mood journal records my zippy / manic & quiet often down times that I want to understand or remember about my rapid cycling bipolar *spiritual director journal that records what issues I am dealing with with my spiritual director *reading journal records what I am reading. This hasn't been kept up as I read so much *movies journal records movies I see.
