This is my current journal and it is also made with misc scraps of paper from around my house.
It is hand sewn and the cardboard cover is salvaged from work trash.

Continuing this visual journal. As it gets towards the end, and thicker and thicker, it's that much more difficult to scan. Too thick to lie flat on the scanner bed. Apologies.

Celebrating and learning are equally important in life. Tonight, I cleaned my messy closet and found these journals I started last year. Had a great moment to celebrate and flip the pages, enjoy and learn ...

This is a rather cartoonish view of my cat Lily. She is taking to getting on my recliner usually while I’m in it and doing the pound puppy pose basically both arms and legs draped on either side of the top of the recliner.
Fourth journal quilt. I started with an orphan block from my stash, created the tree trunk with rice beads and sequins and the treetop with a purchased trim that I cut apart. The river is also sequins, in two colors for shading.
The Moleskine on top is the one I'm going to use next. It is a hacked version of a 2009 diary filled with papers from Ruled Notebook and a Sketchbook.
Be warned - the combination process of these three was not easy! I'll add some photos of the process.
"It's hard to remember we're alive for the first time.
It's hard to remember we're alive for the last time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember that our lives are such a short time.
It's hard to remember what it takes such a short time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember."
the other morning I was sitting on the rooftop and smoking. it was the first time in months to sit outside with no coat or jumper on, and the first time to welcome the sun in such tender way. I saw a bird sitting on the top of a birch, on the branch that was up high the most, and I wondered what it’d be like to sit where he sat and have this breath-taking view on the village. I wanted to take a photo of him, but he flew away as I had gotten my camera. so I just sat down again and watched the sky and saw my neighbour walking her dog down the road.
that was one of the most beautiful mornings I’d had in a long, long time.

Conrail shared assets local train SK-13 (doing leftover work from M-F job OI-14) is seen light engine westbound on the Waldo Running Track coming under Tonnelle Ave. They had just pulled a long cut of flats loaded with empty trash containers down toward end of track beneath Journal Square and have run around and are heading back toward the main. To the right are the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) mainlines via the tunnels to Lower Manhattan.
The Waldo Running Track used to be a continuation of Conrails P&H (Passaic and Harsimus) Line. Prior to 1994 all north south trains to and from the River Line main passed this way and diverged north at CP WALDO (now gone). But now this trackage is just a dead end runaround that extends maybe a quarter mile behind me. It is used only by these locals that pull trash cars in here to run around and then shove back around past CSXT's South Kearney Yard and down the Central Avenue Industrial Track. Down at the end of that lead is the NJRC (New Jersey Rail Carriers) transfer point where containers of waste are loaded on to COFC flats for movement west on NS train 63V to Mingo Junction West Virginia for hand off to the Ohio Central railroad for final delivery to a land fill located off the old PRR Panhandle Line.
In days of old all of this was former Pennsylvania Railroad territory and until 1959 the PRR ran suburban trains to and from their Exchange Place station on trackage shared with the affiliated Hudson and Manhattan (today's PATH) thru here. The H&M opened the station here at Journal Square, then known as Summit Avenue in 1912 and the disused catenary poles and remains of the old electric infrastructure date from the PRR's 1930s electrification project. The weedgrown far tracks that the local occupies once led to PRR's Harsimus Cove freight terminals on the Jersey City waterfront.
If you'd like to read more here is a great story about operations in the North Jersey area during the Conrail era that explains some of the traffic patterns and routings I described: railfan.com/wiseguys-wayfreights-conrail-north-jersey/" rel="noreferrer nofollow

“Life is but a Weaving” (The Tapestry Poem) by Corrie ten Boom
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me.
I cannot choose the colors
He weaveth steadily.
Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow;
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.
Not ’til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned
He knows, He loves, He cares;
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives the very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.
Corrie ten Boom
