And it is so easy. You can grab text and pictures from web sites, Word documents, and Outlook. You can search for the note you want. You can make categories. You can even draw with it.
I've had a couple programs to I tried to use to put all my notes together, but it was always a pain because they weren't meant for what I wanted to do.

Brea got one for "A friend of the natural world." When her teacher said, "She loves all of nature and is often seen with a bug in her hand," everyone said Brea right away. The second award was for "Most likely to be in a production of Cats," due to her creative writing stories usually with cats as the main character and her cat imitation.
We love you Brea, and are proud of you.|||111738593804562955|||5th Grade Graduation
"Mom, I've been ready since we left our house."
Seeing the twinge of hurt, she comforted me saying, "I only meant that I am old enough to walk by myself. I don't mind walking with you." Taking my hand she walks with me to the corner where I wave her off to school.
I still remember the day we moved into this house when she was in kindergarten. I was crossing the street after parking the car over there out of the way. She saw me and got so excited she starts running right for me - into traffic. I lunge and grab her as a pick up truck screeches to a stop before us.
She hasn't run into traffic for a few years now. Only about a week left of walking kids to school. Next year her and her brother will be in the same school and they can walk together. And I will wave from the doorway instead.|||111715945410634607|||Walking to School
We drove downtown Grand Rapids to this little bar where I got carded at the door. But, once they started playing I knew I was going to like them. They have a great energy. You really want to dance and I did on one song. And they really know how to play their instruments.

I wanted him to be able to sleep - so change of plans. I went to Applebees for some teriyaki shrimp then spent a couple hours at Barnes and Noble browsing books. I was actually disappointed when my husband replied to my message saying he was awake and I could come home. I spent a few more minutes relaxing before I came home. Just what I needed.|||111698050242627990|||Locked Out
- St. John Ervine
From John Maxwell's newsletter.
I find it fasinating hearing other people's take on things. I prefer listening more than talking. As they say - I already know what I know and think. It troubles me when people become so hard nosed about their own opinion that they no longer can listen to the knowledge of others. Let's all listen today, especially to someone who has a vastly different opinion than our own.|||111698736581827590|||Opinions
My irises are blooming so lovely in the backyard. I like to walk around the backyard a little when I come home from running errands or picking up the kids. I'm amazed at the differences one day can make in my flower garden. And I don't want to miss the day a flower is at its most gorgeous. I think flowers are so fleeting so we can remember to enjoy this present moment. We can't wait until "later" for a flower. There is no later. Only right now to take in its beauty.|||111698128152704836|||Enjoying the Present
1. Make your menu plan for the week
2. Get all your thoughts onto paper in a journal or notebook to create a serene mind
3. Cross one thing off your to do list without doing it
4. If it can be done in under two minutes – do it now
5. Get a photo box or find a box so you can keep all your unsorted pictures together
6. Think of Father’s day gifts that are consumable, like gift certificates and food
7. Take time for one of your hobbies this week|||111611985278404300|||Weekly Simplifying Tips: May 15-21
So my husband took my daughter and I shopping in Grand Rapids and I finally found the jacket. In the kid's section.|||111611188772064960|||The perfect jacket
After a few weeks of too much work and too little play I am ready to bring back the fun. I'm planning on finishing my novel, planting my garden which was just tilled today, taking pictures of my irises, doing a couple of scrapbook pages, playing some tunes on the piano and getting outside for some biking, hiking and tennis.
I am also very blessed that my other passions of writing, designing and personal development are blended in with my work.

I got to see my son march in his first parade for band. It rained all morning but stopped just for the parade. The rain had cooled the air so the people marching didn't get so warm. Especially with all those Dutch costumes.|||111585209956781499|||Activity Calendars

As you look as an object ask:
1. Does it lift my energy when I think about it or look at it?
2. Do I absolutely love it?
3. Is it genuinely useful and do I use it?
I love that first question. Tracking your energy is one of the most personal and one of the best ways you get to the core of yourself. You may think you need to keep something, but if you feel tired every time you see it, is it best for your environment?
And this works for more than just clutter. If you are looking to where you want to spend your time, your goal will be to spend the most time on things that give you energy. If you are trying to find out what is important to you, look to your energy.
If you are finding nothing gives you energy, first go to the doctor to check for a medical problem or depression and secondly think back to the last time you were energetic. What were you doing? Try bringing this into your current life by moving aside an activity that drains your energy. Bring in music for an evening and throw out a TV show. Start writing again, if that is your passion, an evening a week instead of sitting through a meeting you don't need to be at.
The times you need to do an energy draining activity, cushion it with something that makes your energy soar. After struggling with homework, play outside in nature with your kids. After paying bills, connect with a friend.
I think I just got off on a tangent here :)|||111531394170370872|||Decluttering Questions
by David Bach. Much of his ideas are simple - do automatic savings, automatically pay bills, etc. Learn to live on what you actually make. In the back he mentions his web site so I had to visit. This month's newsletter is on Social Security Reform. Wow, this is an informative article without all the political rhetoric.
He also has some great worksheets to get you started on your finances.|||111522730557884564|||The Automatic Millionaire Workbook
