We talked about Hidden Sources and one of those was a diary. Do you have a diary? If not, why not?

Your activity today is to get a notebook or nice journal and pen or pencil and start a diary. Make sure you put your name inside the cover and date each entry you write. This is not something you need to share with the world. Just something for you to write in and go back to and read as you grow up.

Need some ideas about what to write?

  • Things you did today
  • Your best friends
  • Things you are good at
  • Your goals
  • Where you want to go on vacation
  • What your house looks like
  • Talk about your parents and siblings
  • Special memories of time spent with grandparents
  • Your favorite subjects in school
  • Books you love
  • Your dreams

Draw in your diary. Cut out pictures and tape or glue them in. I’m an adult and one of my diaries has lists of places I want to visit with my kids. I put pictures of those places in my book on the page where I list the destination. I also have pictures of things I love, like Starbucks Iced Mochas, stacks of books and the beach. To some people, these may seem like silly things, but they paint a picture of who I am.

What will you put in your diary?
