But what do you do if not every day is a happy dance day? What if (gasp) you miss a day? Here are just a few ideas to consider.
- Skip it and move on. No harm, no foul. No one will know and frankly, in twenty years no one will even notice.
- Fudge it a little. Take a photo related to that day, no one will know. Take a photograph of your calendar perhaps?
- Make fun of it. Find something fun or tacky to replace the day every time you forget. Perhaps a pink elephant? Or a solid color. Or the ugliest piece of jewelry you own?
- Give up. Don't go forward. Consider yourself a failure.
Okay, so four isn't really the BEST option, but I had to include it :)
What is your strategy?

I typically do something to represent the day if it's something of my normal routine...if I did the laundry..I would just go snap a photo of some dirty laundry...and if that's not an option...I leave it blank and just journal or in my case last year where I missed weeks at a time...I am just going to do a Month in Review type of thingy...ur still being the keeper of memories and who's to say what's right or wrong.
Thanks for the ideas! I think I may just fudge a bit for the day I already missed - having a cold, I think I'll take a photo of my jumbo bottle of NyQuil. :) But, I'm thinking a screen capture of the calendar day on my iPhone, and maybe a few words about the day that was skipped (assuming I remember that too).
Some days I have tons of photos, and other days I have only one. Last year if I missed a day, I borrowed a fave from another day and noted it in my journaling. One of my new year's resolutions is to not miss any days, and I have a lovely iphone 4 now so that I have no excuse for not taking at least one photo every day. Some wise person once said "the best camera is the one you have with you" :0)
I would totally pick #4. I'm just having one of those days....
Well, we're only 5 days in so I've been succesful so far! I didn't upload mine yesterday, but it's in the camera ready to go. I have wondered what I'll do when I travel for work (have a trip coming up this month) and I can't carry my SLR. I think I'll take a pic with my blackberry, or carry my point and shoot. That's still taking a picture, even though it's not as fun w/o the good camera! Thanks for the tips!
I just started 365 and have missed january 2nd already.Truthfully I didn't start it until the 4th but thought about not starting cause I didn't have the 2nd. Well anyway I decided that was beside the point and started anyway.
You're right it's the process. Thanks for reminding us.
When I miss a day I usually just use a picture that could go for any day! A picture of something in my house (my cookbooks, our shoes, my dirty scrap room, etc.) or a picture of my puppies are my go-tos!
