Friday

Many may think "Thank Goodness It's Friday."

Not I.

I would be lying if I said I didn't have mixed feelings.

I get my wisdom out of my system in less than two hours.

I feel scared, excited, ready and calm at the same time.

I am just ready to get it over with.

My wisdom teeth that is.

For years no one said I needed to get them out.

The last couple of years every dentist has tried convincing me.

I finally got the courage.

If it's not one thing it's another.

I took Eliana to the Dr again.

Her limping was a little worse but no x-ray.

They think she may have just done something to a muscle so "let her be" they said.

So we went straight to the library.

Note to self: It's a good thing you looked the books up on the library website and had all the info before going to the library. Better than spending hours back and forth. And good choice on going early when there is hardly anyone there and all the returned movies have been recently shelved. But next time make sure you have your license in your wallet.

I am a skimmer.

I skim through books and don't always read it.

My preference is educational things.

I have the entire twilight series but haven't even finished the first.

I know. How dare I?

I will say...

I have been thinking about writing a journal.

I was scarred as a child.

My mother read my journal.

I wasn't much of a communicator.

What can I say?

So I decided to stop writing one in high school.

Every now and then I jotted some things, which is really why I started the blogging.

Much easier.

Now my mom can read my journal with my permission.

But I am not talking about things I type here.

I am talking about life long, in detail, MY life story.

Casey's mom gave me a book of her mother's life.

I love it. Can't get enough of it.

That has made me think "I really need to write my life"

The thing is I don't exactly know where to start.

Didn't.

If you are interested in starting a Journal of My Life type of thing, but aren't exactly how or where to start...

Let me share a little book I found.

It's called How To Write Your Own Life Story by Lois Daniel.

I checked it out from the library today and I am done with it.

I skimmed through most of it but some things I did read through.

It has given me a great idea as to how to start My Life Story to pass on to my kids and the following generations.

He has made me think about many occasions in my life that I didn't remember.

I do recommend it for the nonprofessional writes such as myself.
