Journaling

Woke up this morning to a gorgeous sunrise casting it's colors on our normally brown cliffs. Such a beautiful start to the new year. Made me reflect on how blessed I am and what I can do to improve myself. One area I need to work on is journaling. When my in-laws were on their missions in South America I used to send them a weekly email telling them all about the events of that past week. I printed out those emails, made them into a book and used them as our family journal for several years. I love having that record of our day to day lives and the ups and downs of raising two small children, while working full time from home and having Darin work 80+ hours a week at his medical residency. Somehow we made it work. Life was good then and still is. It is my goal in 2012 to keep a weekly family journal as well as a personal journal. This blog will be a way of sharing some of the events in our lives. Looking forward to what 2012 may bring.
