For about five years I kept a journal of one page per day every day. I have about five or six books. It was never anything important. I was able to keep it up until half way through my foundations year. I became distracted by other things and I did not get back into it. I think it is about time for me to start again.

I go through fazes of drawing flowers. It becomes addictive. I can't stop until I have filled the page and given myself a headache. To further challenge myself, I started making a book of flowers. Each page has a different word or statement on it, mixed into the flowers. I finished about 10 pages but then I lost the pen I was using so I couldn't finish until I got a new one. When I finally got a new pen, I was done drawing flowers and I couldn't start again.

Can you read it?

I took enameling last year and I started working on a series of medals for losers. They have sayings like "you might be improving...maybe," "they'll be cheering for you...someday," and "don's worry about them...you're winning against yourself." On the backs there are magic 8-ball sayings--"it could happen, "maybe next time," and "try again later." At the time, I was all cheering on the people that never quite get to where they wanted to go. Sadly, I never finished them.

It is now time to begin sorting.
