Things Your Mother Never Told You

While reading emails, etc, online tonight I came across something in a non-journal related story about the things your mother warned you about. It got me thinking that a prompt on the things your mother never told you might be fun. Keep it to ten, if you need to, but make a list of the […]

Saturday Blahs

I had one of those weird days today. Every time I tried to do anything my little boy would protest. All he wanted was for me to sit and give him a “big hug.” The poor little guy has a cold & fever. It’s a good thing it was Saturday. By the time I got […]

Is Personal Reflection Self-indulgent?

After reading this blog entry tonight I couldn’t help wanting to pose this question myself. My angle, though, is on journal writing. Do you think it’s a self-indulgent activity?
In the blog entry Kate writes of other self-indulgent activities, such as reading a book, movies, TV, etc. I have to agree with her, though. I find […]
