The last six months of journaling notebooks and my newest one.

I go through phases. Simple school-day notebooks. Decoratively covered notebooks. Sketchbooks. Plain covers. Covers I design. Lined. Unlined.

My latest is decorated with two of my photographs, of sunflowers I grew in the backyard last summer.

I have never counted how many I have, but it is an awful lot. Almost forty years worth. Journaling notebooks are tucked away everywhere in my little house. It is a bit overwhelming.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside I guess. In between the covers is where the mundanity and extraordinary magic of my day to day resides. Words and drawings and doodles and scribbles — the inside of my head inking the pages. Messy and marvelous.
