The last page

I have tried to write a journal many times.  In the past, I have tended to buy a nice clean notebook, write entries on about ⅔ of its pages and drop the effort.  As a result, I have many half-used notebooks.  

I know that I am an anticipator.  When I can see the event almost ready to happen, I tend to jump the gun.  But yesterday, I began writing on the very last page of the notebook I began using for blog prompts on February 3, 2022.  Back then, I had not realized that writing to a general, unspecified audience was an activity that was good for me.  I had not developed a habit of noting ideas for a day's post in writing as ideas occurred to me. I had not invented a limit of five ideas, marking them in a way that showed there were five and writing down additional ideas that came along on that day with a different mark.

I am proud of myself for keeping track of one notebook and using all the pages.  I have definitely discovered that some good ideas come to mind that will slip away at my age if I don't write clues for myself.
