Just watched the video. Loved your whistle to Tilly and this journaling method sounds like something I may try. Thanks for sharing.

I think you would have some big ole gems to mine in this excercise with all the things you're seeing and hearing right now. Might actually let you have a good chuckle to write down some of the quotes from a day in the life of bad ass boundary setting Jess!

Yes, when we're in grief any kind of break can be helpful. It could also be a gentle tool to focus the grief, my experience of grief is that it can be "wild" and unpredictable so something like this can help with bringing it back into a manageable place. The things you did, saw, heard during that day which may have triggered the grief can be written down and sat with in a way that's a little less volatile perhaps. Little pieces of noticing that are tied to the love. When we write things down I think we're always given space inside ourselves. Doesn't mean you won't sob while doing it though but that's as it should be. Go easy on you.

I love this. I could use time outside my head especially now. As I process my grief I think becoming a hunter gatherer of the good happening will help me to ease my burden a bit.

I did it this morning and I will say I had a hard time remembering at first. I had to think "wait? what did I hear yesterday?!" Getting old I think. I really really liked it though. I wrote about things that hadn't come up when I did my standard journaling this morning. Definitely brought me into parts of the day and my memory that I didn't know I had captured in the back of my head. She takes her composition book with her throughout her day and jots things down, which I would love to do but would need something VERY small as I can barely tolerate taking my wallet with me throughout the day haha. Curious how it went for you and with the kids?! The drawing part made my hands sweat.
