Something I have been doing for years is scrapbooking. Now, I am not talking about your standard scrapbooks, with photos and dates...no, no...my scrapbooks are more like inspiration boards...you know, the ones that designers put together to create a style concept for a room. Except, mine are for my life.
Enclosed in my scrapbooks are clippings of things I found in magazines that I want to buy, or tear outs of rooms I adore. There are quotes I love in the moment...there are lists - tons and tons of lists, like what I am listening to right now, or what my favorite colors are at the moment...or lists of activities I participated in from that month. It's really a free for all! But, when I look back through my scrapbooks and revisit that time of my life and the things that defined me, it's like magic. It brings me such joy and inspiration...and memories...even more so than my "normal" scrapbook full of pictures would bring.

Anyway, so I decided today, since I am out of commission {I threw my back out and literally cannot move at all!}, I am going to use this day to catch up on my scrapbooking! Maybe the process of creating will help heal my back more quickly...cross your fingers!
