Yesterday I bought a notebook from Papemelroti. This brand of recycled notebook has been witness to my life's most significant and mundane journal entries since I was twelve years old. So maybe I need to write again. I have been keeping a digital journal since 2004 but it's not the same. Just as a digital album is not as poignant as turning the pages of a real photo album. Call me backwards, but it's really something else.
My nephew had his 1st bday party yesterday. Looking at the next generation of our family, I feel all these mixed emotions..it's looking forward to the future and yet wanting everything to remain the same at least for a little while longer. Rye had so much fun spending time with his cousins. I hope they can preserve the friendship even when they've grown up or been separated by distance. Eight cousins in all..ranging from 22 to 1 year old. I pray they have a great life, bounded by faith and love.
