keep a diary

on the breakfast table. I’m writing infrequently, but I hope to keep in touch more often, in the form of letters to my daughter which she can read as she picks it up randomly

I’ve made three entries… It fits in my bag, so I’ll try to keep it near at hand. I won’t check in for awhile now, but work on this goal is definitely in progress.

OK. I picked up a little blue journal tonight. It has lined pages, which will help, since my terrible hand-writing puts me off to the task.

I used to keep a diary, but fell out of the habit years and years ago. Now, I miss my children when they aren’t with me, and a good friend recommended I keep a diary every day, recording my thoughts, especially when I think of the kids. A way perhaps to attempt to share my life with them. Even if they won’t read it now, maybe one day (so suggested my friend) they will, and they will know how often I thought of them, how I love them, and how I wish I could share more of my life with them. I haven’t begun doing it yet…
