First and Last
Another good writing prompt for your journal is using the first time you experience just about anything. Your first kiss, your first trip away from home, your first boy/girlfriend, your first child… I’m sure you can come up with a good list of firsts on your own. On the days when you need a prompt for your journal writing turn to your list and write about one of the firsts that is relevant to you.
Along the same lines, you can always write about your lasts. The last time you visited a special place, the last time you saw a loved one, the last time you wore mink, the last book you read… Make a similar list to your firsts list and delve into memories and fun journal writing about the last time you experienced a particular event or emotion.
PS. Dear Rift – I am so sorry but I managed to delete your wonderful and useful comment on Beatrix Potter. As I said about getting used to my new blog home, there’s still plenty I need to discover. How not to delete precious comments like yours was certainly one thing I needed to learn. Could you please comment again? I promise I won’t delete it this time.

Oh my gosh, now I’m famous. I have my very own “ps”! laughs.
No worries, Heather! I’ll go back and reconstruct my comment and track down that link I gave.
Happy Day!

Thanks so much. Now my blog is all upgraded I only need delete nasty comments and not approve the comments. It makes a big difference. I’m less likely to remove the comments I really meant to leave. Thanks again. ;-)
