I love the idea of journaling, I just don't like the obligation of it. When truly big, giant things are going on writing about it is exhausting, and when little day to day things are the norm, they usually don't feel big enough to record. Never mind the whole “buying a really nice notebook and then being too intimidated by how pretty it is to actually write in it” thing that I sometimes do. (I'm not the only one who has done that, am I?). Keel's Simple Diary is the perfect solution – short, sweet, inquisitive, and doesn't demand endless prose or flowery handwriting to look and feel good.

My work schedule has been beyond crazy the past few weeks and as a result I've been trying to build more little rituals into our days that set aside time for Mister and I to connect. I would love to come home, grab some snacks and use this as a post-work touchstone. It seems like it would start some great unexpected conversations, or like flopping down after work with this would be a really fun way of changing gears for the night.
