Sharing Your Light

I started reading blogs just one month ago when my two sister-in-laws created their own sites. I found their writings comical, insightful, and most importantly, inspirational. Their simple musings of their daily life light me up. Along with my sister-in-law’s blogs, my Grandma Woolley has been a devoted journal writer and I have grown to love reading her journal e-mail entries she sends daily. Many of her entries have included an account she had with me and a flood of my own memories of these events rush back. She has been a tremendous inspiration. All of these electronic entries have made me think of my inadequate journal writing, especially in the past decade of life during which I have married, had children, driven a minivan and officially have a mortgage.  It’s hard when you haven’t written for so long to sit down and explain the last 10 years, especially when your penmanship is lacking . But I now feel like I have found my avenue for journal entries, complete with pictures and even the smallest of notes. So to Liz, Anne, and Grandma Woolley, I thank you for sharing your light.
