Day 1836 – A Sort Of New Dream

You may have read a few days ago about a life changing/affirming book I am reading (4 hour work week). One of the things I realized while reading was how much I’ve been wanting to write a book. Since then, it has morphed to about 3-4 book ideas. Years back when I was in college, I took creative writing. One of the requirements was to journal a few times a week, noting things we saw in our day that struck us. Two of my favorite personal works (a short story and a poem) came out of those journal entries. So, I decided to go on a date with myself, grab some food and make a purchase of a new journal. I found the PERFECT one! It has a little pocket in the back AND I found a little pen that fits in the pocket. Said journal fits in my purse! Now it will be with me wherever I go. I’m so excited to start writing again. I’ve already had a late night/have to get out of bed RIGHT NOW experience. I almost had one last night, but was so tired. When I have ideas while falling asleep, I just pray that God would remind me of them the next day if it was a good idea. Thankfully, I remembered my idea when I woke up. 🙂

Day 1822 – Ok, I Lied To You Guys About The Beach, Apparently

The other day, I said that Thursday morning was the first time we saw the sunrise at the beach. It made our whole trip so much sweeter because of that “fact.” Well….I was trying to find some old photos to share today (since we’re coming up on our 5th anniversary)….and I found some from a few months before we got married…..at the beach…..at sunrise.

So, while I lied (unknowingly), these are some fun pictures!
