While reviewing my last journal volume, I noticed there were way too many times when I finished an entry with "think on this" only to never re-visit the topic again. So in this new journal volume, I've added this page to the front matter of my journal, reminding me to tie up those loose ends and make some decisions. The quotation on the left page of the spread reads "Most of us need to recognize a good idea and then think about it for a while before we actually implement it. The lag between knowing and doing isn't neurotic; it's normal. We're just gearing up for change" (Borysenko, 2001, p. 31).
