May journal prompts

May is two bank holidays, bluebells in the woods and the first evening warm enough to sit outside. It's the month the year starts to feel like it's going somewhere. These prompts are for enjoying it.

  2. 2Describe a wood full of bluebells — or the closest thing I've seen.
  3. 3What's blooming right now, in my garden or on my walk?
  4. 4What am I looking forward to this summer?
  5. 5What do I do when I have a free evening and it's still light?
  6. 6What's a small thing I've done for my health this month?
  7. 7Which friend would I like to take on a picnic?
  8. 8What song makes me want to open all the windows?
  9. 9What would I tell someone who's having a hard spring?
  10. 10List everything I can see from my favourite window.

  12. 12What does 'enough' look like for me?
