A Sentence A Day ~July 2017

The summer months are always the hardest to do journal writing. My days are filled with trainings for my day job and the weekends are busy with traveling and fun stuff.  I did manage to complete the journal, but to be honest, I often doubled up on the writing for some of the days!



Here are the past months renditions: For past editions of the A Sentence A Day journaling, check out these links: MayJuneJuly,  AugustSeptember,  October NovemberDecember, January 2017February 2017March 2017April 2017 , May 2017 and June 2017.
