Hiatus

It’s been quite a while since I wrote about anything that has been happening in our lives. I hit some sort of a slump several months ago and have had a hard time digging out. I haven’t been journaling, documenting, knitting, beading; all the things I say over and over that are important to me. And yet I ignore them.

I made a goal for the New Year to ‘journal every day. NO EXCUSES’. Seriously. I think I even wrote it down that way. Well guess what? This is the FIRST time I have taken (figurative) pen to paper.  I guess I should be feeling some small sense of accomplishment that I have actually made some sort of move in the right direction. But I am worried about what I might have missed in those months that I was ‘on hiatus’. I imagine I will remember the big things that have happened but, what about the little things? What about the snippets of conversation that I said ‘oh, I don’t want to forget that’? What about the crazy things that come out of Kaitlyn’s mouth that made me stop and laugh out loud like “I’VE GOT TO GO TO THE CRAPPER’ as she runs through the house? (Ok, that one I will definitely remember). What about those little things that just make all of us well, us? I know I can’t go back so I just need to move forward with renewed purpose. I need to sort through my priorities and make them just that, priorities. I imagine I will miss sitting on the couch reading Supernatural Fan Fiction at night but hey, I can always write about it.
