Embracing the Day

Today is a snow day! An unexpected one for me as I awoke to my 12 year old announcing he thinks he read the school closure on the TV screen because our local newsroom was in "storm watch" mode. I conformed his excitement and proceeded to analyze just how I would spend my day.

When I am granted a few extra hours of time I often think about how much I can accomplish. I often plan to complete a wide variety of chores or projects that have been left undone.

Today I have decide to embrace the snow day. I hope to maybe work on a puzzle we have been doing as a family, play a game, read a book, maybe scrapbook or maybe even enjoy some video games with my kids. After all, why do I have to spend every minute cramming in things that likely will go unnoticed or appreciated? I want to embrace the day and create a memory. That's what I intend to do today! Today is a perfect day to take photo's and scrapbook "A Sherriff Snow Day - 2007". What kind of lasting impression do I intend to leave? One of fun and relaxation - let's see if I can force myself out of old patterns and make it happen!

Blogging - who knew that such a thing would even exist some years ago. The purpose of my blog is to be able to "ponder" my thoughts as often as time permits without the fear of loosing those pieces of paper, the very paper that I have pondered my thoughts on many times before and LOST. I loose everything - keys, credit cards, phone numbers, clothes, books - you name it - so why would I expect a piece of paper would be any different? I have even spent an hour writing a grocery list, taking special care not to forget anything that might be important to those I care for - only to loose it or forget it before I even get to the store! I know I am not the only one, come on, admit it!

Being an avid scrapbooker I recognize and promote the art of journaling. Yet somehow my own journaling gets put to the way side. Since I am absolutely lost without my computer, I hope this blog will be the answer.

So I invite you to journey with me. Journey with me through my thoughts - moment to moment, day to day. Perhaps the moments spent pondering and writing will not be lost to those that may someday want to read them.
