Each month flies past so fast, I often get to the end of the year, and say – Where did that go? What did we do? So, at the end of each month I select a *highlight* and record it in one of the jotting boxes on a Map Journal, so at year’s end I […]
Year at a Glance – October 2010
Each month I take a highlight from the goings-on at Journey Jottings and put it in a box on a Map Journal that I’m creating called ~ Year at a Glance 2010 ~ so come December I’ll have the year simply summarized on a single sheet showing where we’ve come from and where we’ve got […]

Year at a Glance – May 2010
At the end of each month… I jot down what has been the main highlight for that month, so at the end of the year (and for the fun of future reminiscing) I’ll have the year simply summarized on a single sheet on one of our Map Journals ~ The highlight for May was the expansion of our Map […]
