Journal prompt

Something you ate or drank today that was properly good

You could jot down something you ate or drank today that was properly good. No need for a review, just a line.

A short prompt from our Prompt Library, for a cup of tea, a piece of toast, or a meal you didn't have to think about. A plain line will do.

A few ways in

  1. Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind, however ordinary.
  2. You might name it, and, if you like, one detail: the heat, the crunch, who was there.
  3. Some people leave it at the name. Others love a sentence or two. No need for a review.

Example: 'The second cup of tea, in the chipped blue mug, after the post had come.'

A thought: Some people like to keep a little list over a week. Others write one line and close the book. Either is enough.

A journal is a writing hobby, not a treatment. A plain notebook is every bit as welcome.
