A Box of Words

You know that feeling when you're trying to write a sentence but the word you're looking for isn't home when you ring the doorbell? That's when a box of words comes into play! If you're writing a journal entry and you can't figure out what is you're trying to say, just pop open your handy-dandy box o' words and all your problems are solved! I used square/diamond shaped papers for words I like and circle shaped papers for the words I dislike. AND I happened to have a penguin box sitting on my dresser (curtsy of my sister).

So take a few minutes every so often to think about some words you like. Maybe it's a code word between you and a friend *cough* cake *cough* or maybe it's a word that reminds you of a time when things were happier. Or it could be a word that just sounds amazing. But make sure to include some words that have a negative feel too. Otherwise when you journal, you'll sound like Strawberry Shortcake. You can put the words in different boxes if you want, or use different color paper, or write one in cursive and the other in print. The possibilities are endless! Just have fun with it.

A few of the words in my box (reminds me of 'What's in your wallet!?') are:

Paisley

Devil

Ring

Silver

Dork

I'll let you decide which ones go into which category. I can't help you with everything, can I? To quote my Aunt's GPS: "You have now reached your destination. I will not help you carry your bags." And the GPS is programmed with a British accent, just sayin'. ^_^
