I feel like posting, but I'm not sure what to post. My heart feels so heavy right now. I'm very tired, and maybe that adds to the reason. There are a few people in my life right now that are going through some hard times and I just want to take away their burdens. I can't... there's nothing I can do, but pray. I was reading my Bible tonight and just felt the need to pray. I couldn't concentrate on the words anymore and just had all of these people on my mind. So I prayed. I don't know how long it was, but I prayed from my heart.

Also, something happened today that made me want to keep pain away from my children. I'm not going to go into it, but I don't want them to hurt, ever. I know that's unrealistic. But that's how I feel. I had Brooklyn on my heart, especially tonight. So, I've been thinking about this for a little while.. and I finally did it.. I'm reading some novels and in them this mother writes letters to her children and husband, well, I guess more to her husband over the years... and then her children have them when they grow up. I wanted that for my girls. I think girls would appreciate it. I didn't want to start files on the computer, but I wanted them to have papers with my writing on it, with my thoughts of them at that time. I don't know how often I'll do this. But I do want to do it every once-in-a-while. I want them to be able to read these letters when they get older, and know how I felt about them. I'm a sentimental person and I guess that's why this appeals to me. My only problem is, I can't find nice writing paper. You know.. how people used to write letters to one another?? Anyway, I guess I have a good reason to be on the look out for that again.

You could buy each of them a journal, at Staples etc. Then the papers would be all together.
That sounds like an awesome idea.
I wish I would have done that.
