Another little journal I found last year sometime and plucked off the shelf today, having forgotten it. This one I’ll call “Hey Thanks” is a guided gratitude journal. There are some exercises provided to help the journal keeper record what s/he’s grateful for, and sometimes topics are given.
I flipped the book open at random and did this one. I mean, there are a ton of wonders in the world, and most of them I haven’t seen. So I tried to come up with a geologic feature that stirs me emotionally, and animals in general and one specific, and then something purely selfish that might not seem like a “wonder” to others, but would open new worlds to me and help me write.
Hope this is readable. Any wonders you’ve dreamed of experiencing?
When I encounter “the seven wonders” I like to wonder what would be the eighth, ninth, tenth… and why they have to be confined to Earth. Then I encountered the Ancient Aliens series during the winter break, and that would make up for never visiting any of them. The repetitively repeating rhetorical questions the narrator ask in the series though can turn my brother mad, though. As I killed cable tv for being a monopolistic hoarder of cash without quality, I saw a series of the show in a hotel room during a winter break before my flights. I wondered if I ever would travel elsewhere to see those seven wonders.
I would like to go back to the Grand Canyon and spend more time there. I’m not entirely sure how it’s twenty-six years since I was there, but it is.
I’ll meet you there!
It’s a deal!
