Nov 17 Thankfulness Photo - Journaling

I am thankful for journaling, writing, and dreaming. I am not a talker, I'm a writer (hence the blog). I started with a diary when I was little and then after burning a lot of nonsense I moved up to journaling; I am on to my fourth book now. (The Growlery I, II, III, IV)

I love reading biography's of people in the past, but am disappointed because they are all about famous people. I want to know what people like me did, thought, and felt. I don't have any aspirations of being published, but I would like my children and grand children to know what it was like when I was young. If you want to get started on your own journal you can read my post on journaling here.

I am thankful for dreams and hopes. I am thankful for pen and paper, for doodling. I am thankful for reading back and learning from myself (from what God has taught me).

What do you enjoy doing? Talking over coffee with a friend? Chatting with your spouse before bed? Journaling alone? Exercising and talking with a friend? Taking a nature walk and talking to God? How do you express yourself?

Mom Rules

Being a mom has a whole lot more to do with life than changing poopy diapers, nursing, schooling, dressing, and disciplining. It's when you change that diaper or where you nurse your baby, how you go about schooling and why and how you discipline. I've made a short 3 point list of rules every mom (or parent) should have. It's short and easy to remember so you can quickly think through the questions when parenting. Rule 1 - The Golden Rule Matthew 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and prophets." Treat your children as if they are a person, a real person who understand, cares, feels, and dreams. They are not your minions, your slaves, or even yours at all for that matter. They belong to the Lord and they are yours to nurture, love, and teach. They have a soul, and feelings.
