I was reading that if you focus journal, even for a few minutes at a time, it can bring clarity and a renewed purpose to your day. One of the monthly prompts was to “consider one word that encapsulates what you want to focus on in the year ahead.” The word I would choose would be ‘order.’ I have this innate yearning for order and I don’t just mean an organized home. I want to complete things that I have wanted to do for a long time. For example, I have a bin of keepsakes that evoke memories that can be turned into my life story. I started working on that with my writing group but have a long way to go. I want to put my Dad’s stories into a book form so he can have it. All of these ideas and I have many many more once accomplished or even attempted will give me peace and ‘order.’ And I focused and I journaled. Check that off too.
