Welcome to Summer Journal 2025! If you are new, I hope you will find something helpful to your journey. We are using short, simple writing prompts to inspire our pens, or to move us towards pondering leading to creative flow- however it comes for you.
Today’s prompt is weather related, or is it? It will depend on your perspective. However, one thing is certain. There is only one way to find out, and that is to take on the challenge, and respond to today’s prompt.
Option 1: A. How’s the weather? Wherever you are, write about the season you are in now, and the weather related opportunities and obstacles that you encounter in “your neck of the woods”.
Option 2: Heatwave. Think about a time in your Summer memory archive when there was a heatwave, journal the details. How old were you? Where were you at the time? What did you do to find relief. Allow this prompt, simple as it is, to lead you.
OR
Respond to the term heatwave, with poetry, prose, collage, paint, or whatever creative expression seems best to you.
Option 3: Winter Daze. Some love the heat, some love the cold. Winter days can leave us in a daze the same way too many hot summer days can. Too much of anything is, well, too much. Write about a time you had too much snow. Whether a blizzard, or snow in April. Think about a time when winter went from magical to maddening.
Alternatively: Make a bullet list of funny winter OR Summer moments. They can be from ten years ago, or twenty or more…they do not have to be in order. Memory is a funny thing. Let the moments pop like popcorn and see where the list leads! This one will be fun. Stick to one season for focus!
I hope these simple prompts help you find your way into your own memory archive and give you cause to smile, and reflect with gratitude.
Happy Journaling!
Enthusiastically, Dawn
