My paranoid brother in law, who is very much an example of how blaming others for your environment can grow into criminal thinking, will be catching me in the middle of a journaling project titled "How to be Happier" focusing on nurturing an internal locus of control (the polar opposite), and I will be working the project into conversation, fingers crossed he might listen, if even just a little, and I can press him about it next time I see him.
@tippitiwichet this is deviously, graciously clever. I totally approve and wish you success in introducing these ideas.
@Coffee_and_Salt Thank you, I'm loving the chance to give this whole propaganda journal a mini test run :D
@tippitiwichet keep us posted. Really, very clever approach.
@Coffee_and_Salt Just in case I'm still transcribing it, not decorating it like I hope when he gets here, I put it on my blog so I can send him a link.

@tippitiwichet thanks for that link! A very well written piece. and the design is inviting. you've got your bases covered for sure.
@Coffee_and_Salt Thanks :). I sent it to Joe for advice, his bro still hasn't come by and might flake for a bit, so he has time to read and tell me what he thinks.
