Journals

Welcome to my very first post!

I have made grand plans in the past to journal. I even have a stack of blank journals. That is not entirely correct, one journal does have one entry. Oh, they are beautiful enough and the time it took for me to select them almost guaranteed them being written in, right? (or are they too beautiful?)

Three years ago, after having our youngest child, I headed to the bookstore looking for journals again. It had not worked out well for my personal journals but with the children I had envisoned much more dedication. I had even selected the nicest pens that were going to be just for my journal writing. As many other mothers can agree, it may be when they leave for college that I have time to fill in their beautiful journals. By then, I can artfully cut and paste pages from this blog and it will be almost the same.

I do enjoy a handwritten letter and seeing the handwriting of my favorite people. Years from now, maybe there will be more words here than I would have had time to write on paper and maybe they will understand why I did not have time to keep their beautiful journals updated.

I would not have had the chance to have written the words in this post in a journal...even with a nice pen. So for now, this is a step in the right direction.

With only our children, I would have plenty of adventures to cover in this little blog but I hope to define a little more of me here too.
