Michael pointed out the other day that one of the dangers of a daily blog is that when an event like the Saturday bee swarm happens, your second thought is about posting it to the blog. He and I have both made little pacts with ourselves to write something daily. He's been at it longer than I have by about a year. Thing is, some days there just isn't much inspiration. I know that's painfully obvious sometimes on this site.
Anywho, in the words of J-Lo, "I've been thinkin'" about the value of this exercise. Longterm value, I mean.
Back in November of 2001 we gave Lexie's dad a book from Hallmark called "A Father's Legacy." It is a book of jounaling prompts. Sid filled in about thirty of them.
On those days in the future where I have a difficult time scrounging in my brain for something to record about the day, I will try to respond to some of these prompts. I intend to copy in Sid's responses where they occur as well.
Of course, I won't start today, since I was able to manage a whole entry talking about not having anything to talk about already.
Second thought? A couple more months of this and it'll be your first thought...Kevin will be running for his life and you'll be running for the keyboard :)
