Susan from Australia...VOG

[Susan Hosken]

I'm going to use here as my daily check in for VOG. I started it last year but didn't finish as there was mention of this group starting. I thought I would join the group and redo it.
I hereby make a commitment to Julia's program with VOG

Morning pages...I have always battled with morning pages. i am a writer and yet found MPs tedious and boring. I am making a new commitment to them starting today.
I do evening pages also where I do my daily gratitudes and how I felt about the day and any issues that need exploring.

Oh, that's such a good idea -- a gratitude journal -- I may have to revisit that habit myself!

[Susan Hosken]

Christie,
My gratitude journal has changed me life. I do it almost every night and am amazed at what a blessed life I have. i am always amazed at how it is the smallest things that bring me pleasure in a day. Yesterday was huge watching a lot of birds frolicking in the bird bath. I love lifes detail.

I did just bring my gratitude journal to the top of the pile recently... made a few entries... but you know, we do what we "prefer" and to me that is art. But I love the gratitudes idea and have practiced it on and off for years. I started this time as I am trying to do the "positive thinking" psycology stuff to some degree.

[Susan Hosken]

Carol, I just love my evening gratitudes. it really helps me appreciate my day and my life. I love rereading them I love such simple things too.

8th January 2009...Still sorting out how I want to approach VOG. Still don't want to do MPs.
Have already read about the tools needed for the journey and sorting out how to deal with them this time around. I have made notes in this discussion with what I have decided. I read the first chapter about the narrative time line. Did my first walk and need to make it longer.

Susan you are way ahead of me- I haven't even read the chapter yet!

[Susan Hosken]

Lin,
That's OK. i just got the energy and inspiration to begin. I have worked out my commitment to it yesterday and this morning and have decided to commit to this discussion each day. It worked well with the 30 day challenge so hopefully for this as well.
