Welcome back. This is the fifth installment of: “Keep a 5 year Journal.” Click here to see all 12 months.
I’m back with a quick observation and another list of questions. I’ve been plugging away at my journal and have a few things to share.
As we approach the half way mark of the first year, I think you should give yourself a pat on the back. Matter of fact, if you have someone else in your home – I say you give yourself a vacation! Ask them to do the cards for a few days. The answers will be fun and you can simply have them sign their name so you know which ones they helped with five years from now.
Share how you’re doing, ask for encouragement and above all else – BRAG! You’re doing something big and you’re doing great! I’m all caught up and have my cards prepped through May 31st. I hope it’s still fun and you’re enjoying the little bit of reflection each day.

I love this idea! I think I’ll begin with the June prompts…. I know I may sound like an “add-on queen” but this would be very cool as an APP for a smart-device. The prompts could pop up each day as a reminder to take a moment to journal…. Anyway, love the idea–very cool indeed!
Thank you so much for this project! I have to say that this is the first project of any P365 kind that I’ve been able to continue with for so long! I knew that if I tried to scrap it in anyway, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with it. So, Ive started a blog with one entry a day. I plan on editing those same entries next four years and add new journaling to it for each year. I still have plan to make one scrapbook page(digi) per question, but I have 5 yrs to get the final version. For now, I can concentrate on just the journal part. :)
I always have this page and my blog open on my browser. Every night, it’s a ritual to answer the question very last thing before I call it a night!
hi! I found this on pinterest. so sad, i’m 6 months late! Anyway, I can’t seem to find prompts for july. I hope maybe I could start, I still have half the year of 2012 left. thank you very much! This idea was great.
I can’t either. :-( Need both July and August prompts.
I’ve started a new Google e-mail address and have been e-mailing my responses to the secret e-mail address. It’ll be interesting to log in and read the responses in the future. I’m pretty far behind, but I think it’s okay– my journal doesn’t know or care that I don’t keep it at a high priority. Still fun though! :-)
Wow just found this site today and Yes I too will be late starting this project but I love the sound of writing a prompt for just one sentence daily.
I did something similar on Swap-bot.com but it was a monthly sentence a day journal.
this is even better than that for me and doable as well. Just need to decide whether to go digital or do it in notebooks but I am gonna do it for real.
Just found this sight and I LOVE this idea!!!
Are there any prompt posted for the months of July to Nov?
I can not seem to find them?
