Creating my future, one miracle at a time

I've always journalled, from the moment I learned to write. Especially when I was in school and it was convenient to always have a notebook of some sort with you. I kept it up after college, but not as faithfully. I went from several entries a day to several entries a week. Then the babies came, and I tried to fit it in and occasionally managed. But it was often a choice between journaling or getting to shower for the first time in days. (all you mommies out there know what I mean) Then I got back to it fairly regularly when we started to home school. I was making them do it, so having to be a good example, and a set time we all did it together helped me get an entry almost daily. In 2005, When my oldest and his friends discovered LiveJournal, they talked me into trying it. I started doing some online stuff and still a bit of paper. In 2007 I started another LiveJournal that I didn't tell the kids about, so I could whine about them if I wanted to. I go back and forth depending on life between faithfully checking in and just not being able to face it. I haven't done any "creative" writing since college, so my journals now are all just life, whining, affirmations, notes on my health and mental state, stuff like that.
