I joined a 30 day journaling challenge via Facebook, and since I have a hard time figuring out what to write on this basically non-existant blog, I will write them here. I'm already a day behind (great start, right?), so.....

Day 1 "I wanted to embark on this journey because..."

When I was young, I always had a diary. I would write in it religiously....for about 2 weeks, and then I would be bored with it and forget about it. I can't even tell you how many half used notebooks I have from my younger days.

I have a problem with the follow through.

I think something is a great idea, jump in feet first, and then get distracted...bored. I feel like it extends into my daily life. Like the laundry that's been sitting in the washer for three days, or the stack of papers I was supposed to sort through and organize. It drives my husband crazy. I am trying to change that.

It is my hope that having this avenue to be creative, to be honest, will help to get me motivated to stick to other things in my life. Now, don't get me wrong, there are other things that I am committed to. My husband, my kids, my church, and my fitness are all great examples of aspects of my life where I am present...100%. And, let's be honest, those are really important things, right?! But, it's in the day to day where I struggle.

So, here I am. Day 1 of 30 days of journaling. Hoping for a spark in my creativity and a pep in my step into the everyday.
