Me and My Bullet Point Journal

    It is afternoon tea time and I'm running late. I get terribly anxious about being late and have a habit of being early, and not just by an odd hour or two, but by a week, sometimes more. I struggle with health issues sometimes, and that certainly adds to the problem as do these wonderful little white pills they give me. So, being an anxious biddy, I raced in to renew my driver's licence before it was due just in case ....  I was 3 years early. Time and I just have an unusual relationship.

    Back to business, I recently started A Bullet Point Journal, what a difference its made ... I wanted it too look pretty so doodled a bit. it wasn't too bad at all, so went further and looked at other people's endeavours and thought I can do that , and have created a couple of characters too.

    Meanwhile, I was looking for an image I remembered collecting, alas I had 2 of a set of 4.... while back tracking and getting frazzled when my eye caught  a delightful image

My irritability changed as I thought about things. it's true, and far more important to focus on

              "accentuate the positive eliminate the negative"

(from Disney's Jungle Book).

     I've a great deal to be grateful for.  As mentioned, In the last 4 weeks I've started my Bullet Point Journal, doodled my way into making it look pretty, learnt to make my own stickers, can print on parchment, tho' the colours are not vibrant compared to the glorious colours available on my computer, doodled and made up some simple character's, started this blog, and am looking to start an art journal. Painting and drawing are on my post-retirement list. The journal allowed me to set everything out and I have a spot to collate ideas, and progress for the various 'books' I am writing .

that's where the amateur Author label originated and I am grateful for the opportunities I have.

     My journal is nothing fancy, I am using a logarithm exercise book, covered with gift wrapping paper, and a fine point felt pen, I did buy some new, multi-coloured biros and felt pens, watercolour pencils and soft pastel pencils. Alas, most don't work on the paper in my book. What I really liked about the journal is its usability, I could create my own format, move points forward, scribble away, make subject specific pages and keep my daily entries continuing on the other side. Everything is indexed and I could start at any time of the year, and at the beginning of the book. Tomorrow I will scan my prettiest page and upload said book.

    It's time to move on to the next chore. thank you for visiting my place.
