Journaling Tip Tuesday: witness
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
Today is a huge day in the history of the United States of America, the inauguration of the 44th President, President Barack Obama. We are witnesses today to history in the making!
Our journals are witnesses to our inner lives, our daily lives and to the greater world around us. Some of the most fascinating journals to read are ones from the past where we can get a glimpse into someone’s daily life and seeing how history shaped them. We can do this too in our journals.
Write about today, if it moves you to do so. What it means to you, what it may mean to your childen, what it means in the grand scope of things. What did you do today? What were people around you saying, how were people acting? Glue in a headline or photo from the paper into your journal to accompany your entry.
This tip is not just for today’s events, but any historical or newsworthy event, or something in your town’s weekly paper. Our journals can be receptacles to describe our feelings about current events and the impact they may have on our lives.
