Each Remarkable Day

January 10th: This was the day that Susie the pig gave birth to nine piglets
Determined to let no day of my precious life go by unnoticed, I’ve decided this year to end each day by completing one simple sentence: This was the day.....
It takes only seconds to scribble down an answer - far less time-consuming than keeping a diary - but, at the end of the year, I should have a series of prompts that spark memories to keep the year alive.
The second half of the sentence doesn’t have to contain anything momentous. It can be something quite small, trivial even. The point is that the day counts. No more days, weeks, months, years merging into one another. Each remarkable day has its own story. This was the day…..

That's it. I'm stealing your idea.
wonderful!
for me ~ this was the day: i was lifted up by little girl voices on the subway in the early a.m.; i picked up my ticket to see elizabeth gilbert on friday night; i witnessed baptisms; i ate chicken soup with rice while sitting across from one of our fire*side beauties; i got my haircut (which was not part of the plan for today) and lived to tell the tale (yes, there is a tale to tell in this); i sipped hot cocoa with marshmallows in the evening; i realized marshmallow is spelled with two "a"s not one "a" and one "e"...
