The joy of sun dried clothes

Ahh summer- beaches, ice cream, pool, watermelons, and....fresh sun dried clothes! I've become a stranger to my dryer and am instead hanging my clothes outside to let the warm sun and breeze naturally dry my clothes. I love it. It's environmental-friendly, more economical, and the nasty dryer doesn't get a chance to wear out the fibers in my clothes. It's also a fun, therapeutic activity to take the time to hang each item on the clothes line. Solar laundry is the way to go this summer!

Promise to myself to Journal more

Journaling on a regular basis is something that I would like to integrate into my life. I have a tendency to journal sporadically and when I do, I write so infuriatingly that I nearly tear my journal apart. When I am so overwhelmed with emotions (mostly bad ones), I turn to my journal and let my feelings go. Pages and pages of pent-up feelings stream out. When I look back into my journal entries, it seems that I am just a giant ball of emotional despair and instability. I want to end this “crisis journaling” now, and start a journal that also captures the happy moments in my life.

After I let my emotions wrathfully fill the pages, I become a lot more mentally calm and then I start to reflect on my writings. Even though I am a crisis journal-er, I still find bits of aha! moments- moments in which I discover truths, epiphanies, and even points of inspiration in my writing. I become a lot more grounded and gain new perspective on the situation. In short, I feel better after journaling. I think this is a healthy happy habit to have in my life, so I’m promising myself to make time to journal on a regular basis. I am hoping that from journaling, I can make progress my personal growth and continue to develop emotional clarity.
