List of Journaling Ideas #2

My father's job...

My father worked for 39 1/2 years in factories.  He made refridgerators and after cars for GM.  He drove 45 minutes each way to be at work by 6 a.m. in Moraine (sp?), Ohio; suburb of Dayton.  He ate his lunch out of a metal lunch box (that was turned into a birdhouse after he retired).  He was a forman for a short while, but didn't like it, so he went back to being in charge of his production line.  Hours, months, and years of watching parts go by on a conveyor belt so that we could have cold foods and automobiles.  39  1/2 years!!!  I can't imagine.  Thanks Dad!

List of Journaling Ideas #1

For some of my work as a PSR (psycho-social rehabilitation specialist) I am to encourage my clients to use journaling to accomplish various treatment goals.  To help me encourage clients to do that I found a list of 100 starter ideas.  I decided to use them to help me with my blogging.

#1  IF I COULD BE INVISIBLE....

I'd love to go backstage to some concerts, but then I wouldn't have any photos to prove I'd been there.

I'd like to know what people say about me.  (Maybe not.)

I'd follow my kids through a day at school to see how they really behave when I'm not around.  (I'd have to pull a few pranks on them just to freak them out.)

I'd like to see how long it would take for people to realize I'm "not there!"

I hope I wouldn't have to approach invisibility the same way Andrew Clements' character did in the trilogy he wrote about a boy who woke up invisible.

Lastly, I'd really hope that it wasn't a permanant condidtion!!!
