Two years ago I took this picture. The amount of change in our lives that has happened since then is more then I can explain. But I intend to try, for the sake of my sanity. I've tried family blogs in the past, but lost interest because I was always editing what I would say in them, tone down the harsh realities and wide swings of my emotions. Not this time. This time I'm keeping a journal for me (hello journal), to try and relieve that stress and pent up frustration. To share those beautiful moments and frustratingly resentful ones.
I used to journal a lot as a child, going back and reading those is both eye opening and horribly painful. At this point in my life, I don't want to forget the little beautiful things that happen so quickly. I have two wonderful children, and while I struggle with my own demons I do not want my memories of their childhood to be filled with my darkness. I want their light to guide me.
I will be writing several introductions to different points in my life before I start into day to day events, my own attempts to record all that's going on.
