The Infinite Possibility of the New Notebook

Yesterday I bought a notebook. I am keeping a journal of my work. Hours, ideas, goals, that sort of shit. Also travel, for tax purposes.

It's nice -- black, with a strap. A Moleskine knockoff that my campus bookstore sold, made with recycled paper.

I love beautiful notebooks, in the same way that I loved buying school supplies when I was a child. A blank, crisp notebook represents promise and infinite possibility. But I get lazy about keeping them up. Still, all but one of the plants I purchased over a month ago are alive and actually beginning to flourish. So if this is the year that I keep the plants alive, maybe it will also be the year that I keep the journal thing going, too. Possibility fulfilled, maybe.

I love new notebooks, especially I like the moment when I find a good one and open it thinking what I am going to do with it. I carry a notebook with me and write anything, such as, not-to-forget memos, research plans, and what I have done that day. Some use their smart phones as their journals, but I am a pen-and-paper person...

I love the possibilities that a new notebook brings. Right now I'm sporting a lovely light pink Moleskine one. I feel good just carrying it around--and best of all, I'm actually using it! :-)

I had to read your post twice to realize that you are talking about a paper notebook, not a "notebook" computer.

Congratutions on the green things. I don't know how you can stand them in the house!

Even I, the digital queen, still keep a paper journal. I believe you've even seen it. I always have my black soft back Moleskine with me. Along with my MacBook Air and iPad, with which I do not keep a journal...weird. I like the long line of notebooks marching down my shelf. I've kept a journal since junior high. Impressive, since usually the only things I'm consistent with are bad habits.

The story of notebook is very interesting and creates an attraction in the mind of children. I have great love about my childhood,s notebook. I am more curiosity about the care of the notebook. My baby has also this kind of habit but in these links, you can get more here adventure stories.

There are endless scrumptious dishes to eat in this period in any case there are different weaknesses of these dishes https://www.nursingcapstone.net/how-to-write-a-capstone-paper/ besides. For instance, if a pre-adult begins eating drive-through sustenance and grill in early life it'll fall him in stomach and skin pains.
