Pen and paper...

I'm going through my old journals and ripping them to shreds. I've already recycled two bags full of thoughts, musings, shouts, and screams and am on the way to filling the third. In the process, I happened to catch these words at the top of one of the pages:
Goal for 1995: Seek and maintain some semblance of order and balance in my life.
Arg! That was in January of 1995! Twelve years and quite a few months later I'm still seeking to maintain order and balance in my life. Oh, yes, I'm definitely more balanced and orderly than I was in 1995, but still have a long way to go. Good thing life is a process and not an event.

didn't read them... just tore them to ribbons... that was the one and only entry that caught my attention...

ditto for me... tops my list every year.. probably always will!

found a few gems in the front pockets of some of the journals... a pic of me and jeanine taken at windows right before i moved to ny and a birthday card with hugs from her...

needless to say, neither of those little treasures were shredded!

i was glad you were able to be here... i know how busy and complicated your schedule is these days... balancing a family is difficult even in the best of times but when momma has a cold it's the pits...

i'm happy the cupcakes found a good home!
