I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Joy/Mouse/GraceTo Joy: "The local locusts shy away from autumn. Yellow leaflets litter the lawns. The Equinox beckons but keeps everything in a balance, incuding us. Thailand has seasons too; but, they are more subtle. Each flower, frog and forest responds to the sun and rain." To Mouse: "I am very talkative. People find me 1. annoying, 2. enthusing/motivating, 3. amusing. I draw out shy people. Trauma keeps giving me gifts I can't return to sender. But... many bruises are ghosts of what they used to be." ![Merit Badge in Shadows and Light
