five for friday 1

here is a repeat of the definition and the february 3rd prompt:

Five for Friday is a new journaling project I am proposing for the next twelve months. Beginning on the first Friday in February, I will post a topic for a list. Then on Saturday, I will post the list I created from this prompt and a linky for you to share your own work anytime in the following week.

Listing is a fun and introspective way to delve deeper into what makes us unique. You may need to think about the prompt for a few days but the answers are already inside you! We are all made up of moments and thoughts and preferences that are the building materials of who we are. The more we know ourselves, the better we can make choices that are right for us and create the life we were meant to live.

Listing can take many different forms. I bought a sketchbook where I plan to write my lists and illustrate the page with colored pencils. You may do something similar with paint or mixed media. Some people may want to make a book just for these prompts. Maybe you already keep a journal and you just want to include FFF in it. If you like to write, a regular notebook or pretty journal from a bookstore will do. You can even jot down these lists on whatever is handy at the moment (receipts, a piece of junk mail) and then collect them in a shoebox. And there is nothing wrong with just making a list in your head! The point is you are thinking about you and exploring what you think!

Please email me with any questions or leave a comment here and I will get back to you. I hope you will decide to join me on this journey into what makes us “tick”.

Here is the prompt for our first list (february 3rd):

let’s start off the year of fff with a positive and uplifting list (and another f word!) what activities do you find fun? list the five things you (most / first) associate with this word.
