How Lucky Am I: An Uplifting 5 Minute Journal



The first guided journal featuring social media sensation Mr. Skelly, accompanying his first book How Lucky Am I, helping readers take its messages of living in the present into their lives each day.

A friend to help you remember what matters most, on good, bad and beautifully ordinary days.

A beautifully illustrated 5-minute guided journal, featuring beloved skeleton Mr Skelly, who walks beside you as you reflect on the everyday moments that make up a life. Filled with thoughtful prompts, beautiful illustrations as well as space for you to write the story of your own life. A companion to Christian Watson's bestselling book How Lucky Am I.

This little companion talks about many things and all of them involve you in some way. After all, this is your life, and this is your book.

I truly hope you find the ability to put yourself down on paper. To share, write, draw and explore. And mostly, I hope that it brings you peace and comfort, like a dear friend offering you a fresh cup of tea after coming in from the cold rain. Venture onward. Fill this book with your life, and all the things you’re thankful for today.

Because, in the end, we’re all made of the same bones – and every moment we have is something to be thankful for.

About the author

Christian Watson

From Myrtle Creek, Oregon, animator and designer Christian Watson has long lived by the creed that a person ought to remain a student of many things. Actualising this, he founded the 1924us studio, a workshop devoted to thoughtful design and the preservation of simpler virtues, talents and fading skillsets. In 2023, while residing in Tasmania with his wife Elle-May and their two children, he sketched the first likeness of Mr Skelly, a small figure that, to his surprise, came to hold meaning for millions. Christian writes as he works: with plain earnestness, an eye for the unseen and a belief that even the quietest life is extraordinary. His work, as well as his studio, can be found at www.1924.us
