Goal 2021: catching up the scrapbooks

 Goal 2021: catching up the scrapbooks

I want to tell the story, not of just our life, but with themes of life, love, death, sorrow, hope, compassion, commitment, growth, family and community.
I will do this by collecting stories, pictures and memorabilia that will express my stories as "life being."
I value the diversity within our lives, and the influence that each experience has had upon not only today but tomorrow as well.
I wish to preserve the personal growth of those close to me.
I choose to step beyond my "comfort zone," to develope a sense of style within my work that best defines who I am and who I hope to become.
I am determined to be creative, resourceful & effective in the the telling of "our stories."
I reserve the right to scrap outside the timeline, to tell the story as it inspires me, not always in chronological order.
I will make a conscious effort into "putting me" into my story telling, with the use of pictures, stories and memorabilia.
Above all else, I choose to visualize this project as fun, relaxing and inspiring, and not as a chore.

2021 Wish for You

A wish for 2021

 'I wish you enough'

is said,
when we were want the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
