I wanted a place to put my thoughts. I used to be pretty consistent writing in a journal. But, like it or not, I spend most of my time in front of this computer doing one thing or another... and I just need quick access to a place where I can put every random (and not so random) idea, rant, issue, challenge, joy, and memory down, so I can remember it later.
Besides.. I type faster than I can write. And I can read what I type better than what I scribble!
I don't expect anyone else to read this blog. But if, by chance, you stumble upon this blog and are interested in what I've written, then I welcome you to walk with me on this journey. I'm hoping my kids will grow up and be able to read this, someday. But by then, someone will probably create some freaky contraption that will zap the info into their brains rather than having to sit down and read something over the internet (because we don't read things written on paper anyways)!
So that's it... I hope there will be posts that will be encouraging because God knows (literally) that I need to remember these moments, especially when life gets overwhelming. This is one of those weeks where I feel like I'm drowning, but then I come up for a quick blast of air, only to feel myself overtaken by a wave and pulled under.
So let's start this journey. (And kids - if you're reading this - know I love you, and please be patient with Mom's randomness. I hope your memories of your childhood won't feel random, but that you'll look back on your journey and see it as that - a journey filled with adventure, joys and tears, leaps and some set-backs, but always, always, ALWAYS filled with LOVE. These are just glimpses into Mom's life that I hope will add to yours and paint a more complete, filling picture of our life together. I love you...)
