Collected Moments

Last year I shared with y'all how I started doing one of the best forms of journaling ever. 

It was inspired from something I saw another girl doing when I was eleven (ironically she and I never got along, and still don't to this day. It's all her fault as she loves pigs, mice, and ticks, and I didn't mind killing any of them). But I went a step further than her. My goal wasn't just to journal in a calendar, but to show myself why every day was special and worth living. 

I wanted to come to the end of the day and think, "What made today different from all the other days I've ever lived?"

The result was 365 days that started from a place of depression and discontentment and ended in wonderous confidence. 

Need I say that 2019 was equally wonderful? 

Of course, it's not fair to say it's all because of calendar journaling. I was also very proactive about living every day fully and relying on God more than before. And learning to be okay with things not as I wanted, and finding I could still want things as they were. 

I found this calendar on Etsy and bought it because I loved the idea of supporting an artist. This is her Instagram and website. But also as I was really hoping I'd be able to go to Germany in 2019, I thought it would be a good added inspiration to have a German fairytale calendar. 

And without further delay, here are my collected moments of 2019. 

Do any of you remember me sharing about my calendar journaling from last year? Or have you been following my monthly updates on Instagram? Have you done something like this, or joined me in it this last year? 

And it's never too late to start your own!
