Several months ago, someone talked to me and one other person about an exercise she did as part of a memoirs class. For every year of your life, you draw a symbol for how the year seemed overall (as you remember it): a lightning bolt if it was markedly bad, a sun if it was awesome, a cloud if it was a mix. The other person thought this was an interesting idea and started doing hers right then and there in front of us. By the time she was finished, she was shocked by the number of lightning bolts she’d drawn and burst into tears because it illustrated in a such a graphic way how she’d felt so miserable for a very long time.
I can’t imagine how a daily tracking such as that calendar would feel to me at the end of the year.

Hey, wow… this one is beautiful idea to record your mood day-by-day.
I almost ordered this calendar and reconsidered for this very reason. There are some years you just don’t want to document.
