Having followed the advice from another blog, I went out and bought my journal. I don’t think I’ll be able to fill it each month, but I have it for 2009 at least.
One thing I didn’t have, which became apparent when I began to pull together my first page, was some decent glue. I had several simple glue sticks, but I thought they may not be sufficient to handle some heavy duty glueing.
So off I went this morning to grab hold of some Copydex. The glue of my childhood. I found it in the local WHSmiths, which was good. I got home and immediately unscrewed the cap and smelt the memories return. Being a good boy I didn’t linger too long on the smell.
It is interesting to notice how many thoughts resurface when the sense of smell is ignited. When I look back on my life there are several smells that every so often drift across my memory. And they are not all positive, and some remind me of times I’d rather forget… but then those times are also part of who we are.
Still, I have my journal, I have the collage pieces and now I have the glue… in my way is mere procrastination, I shall overcome.
