What is this thing?

I have decided to follow the advice of Gretchen Rubin, whose blog "The Happiness Project" I've been following for quite a while. Among the sage advice she gives, Gretchen lauds the idea of a One-Sentence Journal.

One of the reasons I rarely blog is my own verbosity; I feel like I could write so much about so many things that the task becomes insurmountable and I do nothing.

So as a personal project, I'm aiming to keep a Brevity Journal. I won't hold myself to one sentence, if two or three will do. And I won't punish myself for missing a day. I just like the idea of accumulating snapshots of my life over the next year - which will be a big one: A wedding, a puppy, job changes, a master's thesis...and not necessarily in that order!

It begins with a sentence:

Today I'm doing something.
