i have always wanted to be the kind of person who keeps a journal. i’ve tried (many times). and i’ve stopped (many times). and i finally decided that i’m too self-conscious to keep a journal and have it not be filled with a bunch of self-conscious writing.

that is why i was delighted to discover keel’s simple diary (at my favourite store in practically the whole world… paper-ya on granville island).

(i’m lime green.)

phillip keel makes diary-keeping… simple. he really does. each day you are asked a series of simple questions that give you an opportunity to reflect on your day… but also on some bigger issues. some make you think. some make you laugh. and after two week of filling in my pages, i’m so glad i’ve started!

this is a new habit i think i’ll be able to keep.

oh, and why “be the panda”? read keel’s philosophy here.
