I'm still going and quite enjoying the game and journaling. I've filled my first room with furniture, though there's still room for more decor and details, and I'm gradually working towards gathering enough seeds for a second room.
I enjoy journaling now when I can, especially knowing it doesn't have to be a full-page entry. Including a recent event or thought I want to remember, and one good memory, has helped me a lot towards seeking the small positives every day—even days when I don't journal.
The sense of progress on the rooms is also a very pleasant touch, as is the gathering of resources. It's a bit of achievement I can make even on bad days.
