I Like
LeeAnna has asked Did you get a new notebook and paper to use that year? Do you still like having notebooks and calling them journals? I did not get new school supplies each year. There were always some left from the previous year. Being raised by parents who lived through the depression meant you made do with what you had. Not a bad thing to learn! I still do the same. Mostly. I do love keeping journals! I have never counted but I have a LOT. I also have a LOT waiting to be used. They are such a safe and wonderful place to make art, dream, record or whatever. And don't get me started on pens! I have managed to go on three lovely walks with three lovely friends in the last week. What a treat! The leaves are gorgeous shades of red and orange right now. Such a colourful time of year.
It is a beautiful and hopeful quote. I would say it is not always true, though. A depression or traumatic event can stop your growth, and actually push you back down. Once in a vicious circle you might need help to change your life for the better. Mistakes can cling to your forever... Sorry I am so pessimistic.
