]]> Comment on A Gratitude Journal- A record of the good stuff. by Sabrina S. http://www.lovenotebooks.com/blog/a-gratitude-journal-a-record-of-the-good-stuff/#comment-176 Sabrina S. Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:20:19 +0000 http://www.lovenotebooks.com/blog/?p=265#comment-176 Last year, I embarked on a one-year "blessing blog" in order to become more aware of what I have to truly be thankful for in my life, both big and small. It turned out to be very fulfilling, and once I got started I couldn't stop. Now, I do my daily recordings in a plain spiral bound notebook. And as you said, even on days that I don't think there's anything to really call a blessing, something always comes to mind if I just stop and really think. Both in blog and printed form, the process has kept me grounded in what really matters and made me more aware of the little things in life that I used to always take for granted.

]]> Comment on Alternative uses for planners by millicent http://www.lovenotebooks.com/blog/alternative-uses-for-planners/#comment-154 millicent Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:01:52 +0000 http://www.lovenotebooks.com/blog/?p=221#comment-154 When I find a calendar/planner that I really like, I wait to see if they will go on sale (I hate to pay full retail on anything). Then I buy a couple of them at the reduced price. Since I have discovered that many times, the particular style may not be produced the next year. I am not beyond modifying the numbers on the days so that I don't have to save the volume for seven years. A classic example of this was a really nice literary desk planner that Barnes and Noble sold a few years ago. Then they stopped offering that one. I liked it enough that having one with "adjustments" was worthwhile. Recycle and reuse :) When I find a calendar/planner that I really like, I wait to see if they will go on sale (I hate to pay full retail on anything).

I love stories of people with disabilities conquering life, & I'm looking forward to the notebook part, as well. I love notebooks and pens, too. Wow, that will be our next movie to watch.
