Thanks for reading. I'm so glad ...Hey, Loretta! Thanks for reading. I'm so glad you're going to pull out your special journal. I recommend taking the first page or two and just scribbling or drawing terrible pictures in them--or having little kids do it. Then it will be primed and ready for your hand. :-) Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777222768227948847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-45866370370334880332016-10-04T10:45:59.352-04:002016-10-04T10:45:59.352-04:00I'm new here, but I'm glad I came :) I'...I'm new here, but I'm glad I came :) I'm not usually terribly inhibited about writing things down, but I do have this ONE journal, that well, has "lain in wait" (is that right? lain?) forever and a day. It's gorgeous. A gift from a friend in Australia. A parting gift, so kind of special. But after reading this, I'm lifting it from the tissue papers and out she's coming! I'm going to plot in her, wag her around and capture my thoughts. Why not. It's better than shriveling up in a drawer! lol And hey, maybe I'll display her, alongside a pair of stiletto's! Great conversations piece! (Wonder what the hubby will think? More divine madness going on over here in the writer's room?)

I guess we have to sort of beat ourselves at our own game. :-) I don't know if I could do it backward (because perfection), but it would be interesting to try. Let me know how it goes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777222768227948847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-88536716793603991972016-10-03T21:51:44.409-04:002016-10-03T21:51:44.409-04:00Barbara, thanks for stopping by!

I wanted to be able to do mind maps on those pages for the book I'm working on. Having my nanababies break them in for me was the ideal cure for the perfection that ailed me, and I'm using it all the time now. I really love the concept of wabi-sabi. It changes everything!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777222768227948847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-17576036474503566522016-10-03T14:01:10.024-04:002016-10-03T14:01:10.024-04:00Did I mention that I will be starting with the las...Did I mention that I will be starting with the last page and working forward?

I think I will do that. Thank you for the inspiration.<br /><br />Wabi-sabi is a perfect image I think. I love the broken and imperfect!

I will never have to worry that they are too perfect again.
