Simply Breathe

So I've tried many types of organizing for my day-to-day activities.  I've tried Day Planners from just any old box store.  I tried planning only on electronics such as Google Calendar.  I even went as far to purchase an Erin Condren.  I will admit I liked the EC but it was a little pricey.  I also struggled with the structured aspect of it.  I wanted to be able to add additional papers to it easily and have the chance to add more plans.   Recently a friend introduced me to Bullet Journaling.  There is a clear system of no system.  Make sense? Check out Bullet Journaling for a brief overview. Simply put, you get a plain notebook, create an index, and get planning.  You add what you want, when you need it.  Genius! I can add lists for future plans, lists of books I've read, and a daily plan spot for as much as I need.  Word to the wise, don't google Bullet Journaling layouts.  Unless you have a ton of extra time...

Every morning I wake up and wonder what new thing Kelsey will learn today. ..somedays she learns a new sign like the sign for bath-time or pacifier...others she learns a "trick" like how to climb up on the coffee table and jump. It got me thinking about how wonderful it would be to wake up everyday expecting to learn some amazing! She gets this huge, joyful smile when she does something new and laughs like crazy. Wouldn't it be nice to become overjoyed when you learn something new? Even the small things? I am currently in 2 courses for education and learn new things everyday but don't find myself wanting to jump up and shout. I guess it is one of the great things about being a child.
