Since I was 9 years old, I have kept a journal. I have many volumes stacked up in a big wicker basket in a closet. I wrote about all kinds of stuff, the mundane, routine, funny stories, trips and more. From time to time I pull them out, read my entries and reflect on where I was at different points in time.
I don't journal much anymore. I did try a sketch journal last year and that was fun. What I would like to do is write down the 'big' stuff that happens to me in any give month. For some reason I think it is important to document my life. In part to help me keep track of the big and small events as I move through my life.
August 2011
- My Uncle Gunnar became a U.S. Citizen on 8/5/11. I attended the ceremony at the Federal Court House in Muskogee. So did my cousin Kajsa, Mom, sister Rachael and her children.
- It remained brutally hot. Didn't run much but did cycle.
- Attended an art show in the Brady District with mom, Heath and Walter.
- August 25th was Aunt Kathy's Birthday, first birthday with her not here. I made some art.
- Walter visited August 16-30. His last visit before moving to Tulsa, hopefully next month!
- Walter and I went to Keith Urban concert on 8/18 at bok-great show!
- Special dinner with Walter at the Brasserie in Tulsa, excellent food!
- Dropped my wedding dress off for alterations.
