Journal Circle: Challenge Check-In

Last month, I posed a challenge to you for our monthly Journal Circle . . . to journal a minimum of 10 days, possibly using the list of prompts that I provided.  It is now time to check in and see how we did!

Before we delve too deep, however, let's remind ourselves of the list of prompts.

1. Why do you journal? 
2. Talk about your day. 
3. Make a list. 
4. Doodle. 
5. Clip something from a newspaper. Attach it into your journal and respond. 
6. Choose one . . . my mother, my father, my daughter, my son, my grandmother, my grandfather, my spouse . . . 
7. The year I was born. (Check out this website to help you record some memories!) 
8. Listen to a song. Write about how it made you feel, where it took you, any memories you associate with it, etc. 
9. Discuss a current read that has impacted you in some way. 
10. Green.

Now, this is where I must confess . . . I did not even write in my own journal 10 times this past month.  I wrote almost every single day, but my journal took a hit and I did not complete my own challenge.  I did incorporate a number of the prompts when I did write though, including #1, #2, #3, #4, #5.  My favorite prompt was the list.  I wrote a list of things that made me happy.  That one put lots of smiles on my face, especially considering I included this little note I found laying around my house courtesy of my children . . . 

I may not have completed my own challenge, but I am still continuing to truck along and will continue to shoot for a minimum of 10 entries per month.  I have finally realized that I don't have the time to necessarily write every single day, but I do know that I can be writing a lot more than I currently am.  I really love when I am journaling!

Did you participate in the challenge?  How did it go for you?  What was your favorite prompt?  Would you like to do this little challenge again, but with a different set of prompts?
