Keeping a Journal

Well, it has almost been a year since my last post! Oops! I'm just not very good at this blogging thing, but I really want to be better! When I first started blogging, I looked at it as another place to post "status'" about my life. And that's all I saw it as. But now, I have come to realize that it's more of a place for myself and my family to look back on and enjoy the memories we are creating. It's more like an open journal of my family's life. My Great-Grandma Richards just passed away this weekend, she lived to 103! She was always an inspiration to me in so many ways! One of the things I always admired her on was journal keeping. She has books and books and more books about the stories of her life! It is so amazing to look back and read about her very first date she went on, or just a simple day out with her family! She created these amazing stories all by putting pen to paper.  It's all because of her that I want to become better at blogging or "Journal Keeping". Not just so the world can see, but so that my family and I can reflect on, and remember memories we created. I may not have pages and pages full of past memories like my Great-Grandma but at least I'm starting somewhere! So here is to a better start at creating my own stories. Thank you for your inspiration Grandma! You truly were an incredible woman!
