A writing desk laden with Crane paper.
During the year we become hurried and bogged down in our day to day lives. So often we forget to take a step backwards, take in a breath of fresh air, and experience all of the priceless and breathtaking gifts just hinting for our attention. All they ask of us is time -- a reprieve from the other aspects of life.
Not so many years ago, people communicated through hand-written word. They kept journals, calenders and diaries, writing their thoughts and important recollections, while maintaining card and address lists for every occasion. I have always found it comforting to look back on old calenders, journals, address books, bank entries, and other recordings of my life.
I am going to make a suggestion that we slow down a little in 2010 to look around us, smell the roses (or any other flower for that matter), and feel the solitude that a moment of relaxation can deliver. We can easily reacquaint ourselves with life’s simple pleasures, and simultaneously decrease our stress level.
I have gathered a few journals, address books, and photograph albums for your consideration. A previous post, The Write Way, contains resources for writing

I feel certain that we can find the time to accomplish our other obligations, and at the same time enjoy the lovely pleasures before us. So...let's get out the pen, open the cover, and put our thoughts and information on that crisp, fresh page.
