3 Journals

Taking my wise, and ridiculously-disciplined brother's advice, I have made February a "trial month." To keep my on track, I have employed three journals. There may come a time (probably around March or April when basketball is long gone, art competitions and showcases are over, and the school year is winding down) when I scan some pages or rewrite some thoughts, but for now, my focus for the month is three-fold.
1) Spiritual: 30 minutes daily of reading, meditating and praying, with reflections and prayers recorded in my "Year of the Raisin" journal (there's a longer story there, but that will have to wait for another time).
2) Physical: I'm back to working out, just 30 minutes, 5 days a week (before or after school). My main goal is to be able to lift a woman over my head for the prom fashion show (again, the bigger story on that will have to wait). I'll be recording everything in my trusty old, super girly zebra print workout journal (last entry: February 2007).
3) Artistic: I haven't painted in FOREVER, so I'm breaking back into artistic thinking by drawing daily in my sketchbook. Nothing amazing; just 15-30 minutes a day. I'll be drawing these in my "Upcoming Projects" sketchbook.

So all that stuff adds up to around 1.5 hours a day. When practice time is subtracted from my life--Wednesday of next week--I'll basically "break even" on time committed to various tasks. I'm excited to see what will come of everything. I'll try to keep you posted...but really, 4 journals would just be a bit ridiculous, don't you think?
