The Two Journals

I posted pictures of these with my intro over on [livejournal.com profile] embodiment. My two journals. One I don't use particularly much as it's a dream journal... sometimes it's hard enough to remember what you dream as it is, but with Dashiell and the amount of fatigue I've felt over the past 6 months, well... writing about a dream I had as soon as I wake up doesn't really happen anymore... especially seeing as he usually has some kind of need that has to be met upon waking.

The Dream Journal:



With The Sandman on the cover, from The Dream Hunters.

And the journal I'm using for the daily entries for [livejournal.com profile] embodiment:



The pen is my trusty Parker fountain pen. And the journal has Death from the Sandman on the cover... a nice irony I thought, Death on a journal about Life.

I had already been using that journal before the commencement of [livejournal.com profile] embodiment, so it was almost half full I think. But I hadn't been journalling with any regularity for quite some time, so [livejournal.com profile] embodiment is a good impetus to get into it again, on a daily basis, which hopefully I'll be able to sustain throughout the year.

I recently bought two new journals, one for myself which will be used once the Death journal is full, and another I bought to document Dashiell's life in, a tangible and more frequent version of the monthly newsletters that I post on my blog. I think that he'll like that when he's older. I just wish I'd thought of doing this earlier, rather than when he was 6 months old.

I'll post pictures of the new journals once I take them. They're gorgeous Paperblanks journals, the one for Dashiell having a Laurel Burch cover with horses.
