The Common Book.
I was reading about “the Common book” on longhairedchild.com and it inspired me to write the following.
I have a book, it started out as a trip journal for a recent family trip we took, a visit to Disney World and a lovley week long carribean cruise, Just barely missed a nice hurricane.
Its a moleskine pocket ruled notebook, I got it to journal the events of the day, it was a great idea, unfortunately I was just too tired at the end of the day to record what happened. I did attempt to catch things up after the fact. but it was no use I couldnt write fast enough to keep things current. or possilby I was trying to record too much.
So, I just started writing other things in it too, phone numbers, shopping lists, ideas for blog entrys, so it has morphed into what I’ve learned is called a “Common Book” I’m keeping everything in these days, includeing little doodles and some attempts at sketching. soon I plan to own more of these moleskines , I Love the little things.
