When I was in high school, I took a class specifically on journaling and it was So Much Fun. Or at least it was for me since I’m a writer. But I suspect it will be fun for you too. Because everyone likes taking inventory of the little things and the big things, right? I haven’t kept a journal–other than a log of my yoga practice–since my son was born 15 years ago :). So when I stumbled upon the 52 Lists Project book, a year of weekly journaling inspiration by Moorea Seal, I thought it would be one way to inspire both me and you, dear reader, to reflect.

This week’s list:

List Your Essentials

My essentials are:

My son

My family

Yoga mat

dare I list iphone?

eyesight

water

garden

legs and arms

a pretty view

the Maine woods

laughter

an oven

meditation

yoga

furbabies–specifically cats but dogs are fun too

Espresso!

Essentials can be anything you must have in your life. I include a photo of my handwritten list because I need handwriting practice! I spend much of my life on a keyboard these days whether laptop or iphone. There is nothing so precious to me as handwriting on cards and notes from loved ones who’ve passed. So I want to keep my hand in it, so to speak.

Your turn: what are your essentials? Leave a comment
