SDBJ = Stacy Duplease Blessings Journaling

NOTE ABOUT SDBJ AND OTHER JOURNALING/BLOG TITLES (SDBJ, BJC, AND TBJG)

I'll put SDBJ in the journal entry title or header in order to help distinguish what is my personal Blessings Journaling, what is my Blessings Journaling Coaching, and my fiction writing of TBJ Group (The Blessings Journaling Group). So, in each title of my journaling or blog entry, I will add: SDBJ, BJC, or TBJG to help distinguish between them, so we can tell the difference at first glance. 

ANOTHER CHANGE: FEW TO NO IMAGES

I will not be adding an image or photo to every journal entry or blog post, which goes smack-dab against all conventional blogging wisdom. 

Why? This is supposed to be about Blessings Journaling and Blessings Counted Journaling, not photos. It's about blessings, nothing else. It's about the words used to convey the blessings, not images or photos. In fact, I think images or photos can detract from the main point: lessings. Period. Nothing else. Pure and simple.

BLESSINGS COUNTED JOURNALING

FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2014

674 Hubby, Zack Beagle, and I went on a road trip. 

675 We saw God's country as we drove to Roanoke, Virginia and back. 

676 We saw big, open skies, something we cannot see where we live because of the thick and tall trees. It's been over six months since I saw so much sky. 

677 We rolling hills and mountains with some trees, but you could see through them and over them. Beautiful! (Here, where we live, it's flat like North Dakota, but with trees you cannot see or breathe through.) Mountains, let me stress. Mountains!

678 We made a memory.

679 Feeling rejuvenated after seeing big blue sky, rolling hills, and mountains.

670 Wondering the history of the Shenandoah and Blue Ridge Mountains. 

676 Started to read THE STORY KEEPER by Lisa Wingate. Fantastic. 

SATURDAY AUGUST 30, 2014

671 Went to breakfast at a favorite place.

672 Went to Lowe's to buy new materials and tools to make a new turtle basking platform. 

673 Did the DIY project when we got home of profile, egg crate, and zip ties to make Shelly a new basking platform. 

674 Added water to turtle tanks, in which Harry and Shelly were thrilled. 

675 Shelly decided to play interior designer and move around the new setup in her tank. I had to go no less than eleven times to fix it and hubby did the same four times.

677 Finished reading THE STORY KEEPER by Lisa Wingate. Fantastic.  

678 Went to bed early.

681 B went to get groceries.

682 When B went to get groceries, he got me some brown rice. It was NOT what I wanted. (Bummer, right?) Well, I tried it and it ended up being my favorite. Good stuff. Yay!

SUNDAY AUGUST 31, 2014 

679 Slept in later.

680 Been having a slow morning. It's been nice. 

683 Started a new blog today, TBJ Group (The Blessings Journaling Group)... a nonfiction and fiction blog about a group of people who journal. 

684 Cat was a love bug last night and 685 this morning. 

686 Ground beef and salsa

687 Brown rice, cheese, a little cream, water, dash of onion powder. Yum.
