About four years ago, I wrote about a new five year project I was starting. A daily journal that consists of just a few sentences each day, arranged so that each page gives you a backward glance at the last five years. For example, when I write today's entry, I can see what I wrote on this day in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.
It has turned out to be a fascinating and useful exercise. But my five year journal is nearly full, and I feared that I would have to try to make a new one myself, as Levenger stopped carrying them shortly after I purchased mine at a close out sale.
Fortunately, the Levenger 5-Year Journal is available again, but in a more affordable model. If you're intrigued, buy one. If you're optimistic and committed, buy enough to last the rest of your life. Hard to say how long they'll be available.
