My Favorite New Habit for the New Year

I love blogging (obviously) and have kept journals on and off since I was a child.  I also frequent shops like All She Wrote  and Paper Source because of their unique paper goods, Lilly Pulitzer garb and fun kitschy items - like THIS:
 It's a five-year journal.  You answer one question about yourself, your life, your day, etc. every day for five years.  You end up reanswering the same question on the same date each year for five years - so it will be interesting to see how my answers change for each year.    I think that I remember my dad having one of these when I was younger.  I like the idea of keeping track of my life in that way.  I can often incorporate little things about my day or what I've been up to in the tiny 5 lines available for each day.  However, it's even better than a typical journal because there is zero pressure to fill up even a full page with ramblings - that's what this blog is for ;).  I think that it will be fun to show my kids one day.  I love my life - the good and the bad - and being young.  I am trying my hardest to remember all of it, since life is far too short to spend even a second wishing it away.  :)
