I made a journal this week.

Recycled a print out of the Darkling manuscript.

I needed to get centred, grounded, focused.

So I stitched the printed sheets together into a book.

Then I applied paint to each page, blotted off any excess.

I had a journal of colourful pages.

I had a safe vessel to capture all my thoughts feelings and to-dos.

I had been feeling overwhelmed.

Like treading water and getting nowhere.

Creating this journal was fun.

It felt like goofing off my day-to-day responsibilities.

This journal helped me get my ducks in a row.

And tick(le) them off into the sunset!
