My dream date would be (to start) to go to eat somewhere neither one of us had been before, but the food would be fantastic. We would get the basics out of the way of what we did and where we grew up and start talking on some tagnent about a random thing we both…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 20 – What are You Most Grateful For?
It’s hard to say one thing above everything else in my life that I’m grateful for. To pick only one would be a disservice to the other blessings in my life. I like the idea of this prompt – even the idea of whole gratitude journals. Many people focus on what is lacking in their…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 19 – What You Love Most About Your SO or Best Friend
Now comes all the sappy questions. Enough about us, right? Move on to the people in our lives. Well, I just so happen to have a significant other I can write about. I’ve been married to my wife for six years now and been together closer to nine. We’ve gone through a lot together, good…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 18 – What are Your Short and Long Term Goals?
This prompt is a little similar to where I see myself in 20 years, but I think this is looking at specifics. Short Term: Right now I’m working on getting through the rest of the year. Soccer season starts next month and I need to make sure my son is ready to start games and…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 17 – Your Best Qualities
I’m into four weeks of the journal challenge I’ve taken on and I like the format it’s been taking. This challenge asks some hard questions about yourself and then immediately follows up with an uplifting and edifying set. For instance, with yesterday’s prompt on things you want to improve about yourself, today’s follow up prompt…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 16 – What About Yourself Do You Want To Improve?
I’ve come a long way to today from who I was, say, five years ago. I’m more responsible, responsive to my family, I’m doing well at work. I do a good job staying on top of things that need to be done at the house and being open with my problems and getting help with…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 15 – 1st Thing You’d Do if You Won the Lottery
I am going to assume this is after the obligatory “pay off all your bills”. I mean, come on. First thing will be to pay off cars, houses, student loans, anything we owe money on. With that all out of the way, what’s next? I would want to throw some cash to two organizations. 1)…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 14 – If You Could Go Anywhere in the World Right Now, Where Would it Be?
Today has been so busy! You can definitely tell it’s a Monday. I nearly missed my post for the day, but no! I shall not forget. If I could go anywhere right now, it would be somewhere like England, Scotland, or Ireland. Oooh, maybe even Italy or the coast of Spain. Somewhere in Europe for…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 13 – Are You Happy Right Now? Why or Why Not?
Am I happy now? Short answer: yes. It’s taken a while to get to where I am today, and there are still plenty of things that I continue to work on and improve. Overall, yes, I’m happy. My family is finally in our own house. We have everything we need and a few things we…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 12 – A Short Story
The below is a short story I did in June of 2017. Hope you like it. *Picture via Flickr* Last of the Weavers “Nicely done, Daniel. Very impressive.” Daniel stood to his feet from the training mat. He had been practicing The Weaving meticulously for weeks. His body ached and his muscles burned, but to…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 11 – Where You’d Like to be in Your Life 20 Years From Now
Twenty years? So, that would make me 54. Whew. A lot would have happened between now and then. Well, if I had my druthers, life would be something like this: Through thrifty financial planning and successful careers doing…stuff…we have just paid off our house. My wife and I will have just become true homeowners and…
150 Day Journal Challenge : Day 10 – What You’d Say to Your Favorite Celebrity
I don’t have a movie star or musician that I have been a super fan of for years. I have actors and such that I like, but no one, no matter how famous, has transcended being a normal person. To narrow every movie star, music maker, writer, sports star, artist, or otherwise a famous personality…
