Love Letter Inspiration From Your Journal.

by Edward A. Bordi

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m always coming up with great ideas to do something nice for my wife that I never actually do – they never come to fruition. I never take those ideas and do anything with them.

They simply remain an idea, something I thought about for a moment and then quickly faded away -- lost, forever.

Because the kids came screaming into the room, my boss called, or I spilled my drink. What a shame! I bet she would have enjoyed some of those things too, whatever they were.

Over the years I’ve come up with some truly original romantic ideas, but I just can’t remember what in the world they were.

Look, stuff happens all day long, everyday

Your most romantic idea ever,
Maybe an idea for that book you always dreamed of writing, or
Perhaps you stumble across a mouth-watering recipe

How are you going to remember it all with life coming at you so fast?

Write it down in a journal. Or else it may just be lost forever. Or at least forgotten and not remembered until it's too late.

Take Three Easy Steps

Step # 1 ~ Buy a small journal that you can carry with you everywhere you go. Yes, everywhere. You never know when that big idea is going to show up.

Step # 2 ~ When you get an idea, see a recipe, anything, simply pull out your journal, date and number the top-right of the page, mark the left-hand column with a Tag like "romantic idea", "recipe", "love letter topic", "phone number" and then record your item.

Step # 3 ~ Leave a few blank pages at the end of your journal for the sole purpose of indexing. Alphabetically add each Tag used during the day to your index and list the page number where that item is found.

Write them all down, because that idea you thought was silly may just turn out to be the best idea you ever had.

It's so easy. Only a few minutes of effort and you recorded all your best ideas. Now you know right where everything is. All your recipes are on pages 1, 6, and 20; all your business ideas on pages 16 and 23; and all your love letter ideas on pages 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Don't pass up any thought, love letter idea or recipe. Write them all down, because that idea you thought was silly may just turn out to be the best idea you ever had.
