Dear Posterity,
As you sit down to read this blog/journal, many many years from now, you might wonder about a couple of things. I would wonder if I were you! For example, who is this person that wrote these words? Why are there so many entries about her children, didn't she have a life? Why aren't there very many posts about trials or tribulations? Didn't she have any? And why in the world are there 3 month gaps between entries? Well Posterity of Mine, I am here today to answer some of those questions for you.
Question: Who is this person that wrote these words?
Answer: Well in a nutshell...I am your great grandmother, distant cousin, great great aunt...I don't know look it up on our family tree. (hee hee) I am at this moment 32 years of age and the year is 2010. That might sound like a long time ago to you, but it was a fantastic time to live. I am happy, I live a good life. I am a person who stresses and worries about everything. I usually can't fall asleep until late in the night because I sit and worry in my bed. I love the arts. Nothing else brings me more joy, except my children. I love to create things, dances, plays, everything. I love to write. There are so many words and thoughts in my head, my only wish is that I had the time to write more. I couldn't live without Music. Good music that moves me emotionally. There is ALWAYS music on in my home. I feel like the invention of the ipod was the best invention ever made. My life is busy...oh so busy. I am trying to simplify but life feels so crazy. I have a testimony of the Gospel. I am not always great at sharing it publicly, but never doubt that it is strong!
Question: "Why are there so many entries in this blog about her children, didn't she have a life?"
Answer: Yes she did have a life...her children. You should know that they are what I think about 99% of the time. And when you are so proud of something you write about it. So I did! I wrote about the pure joy they bought me. They are the moments I want to remember when I am 85 years old.
Question: "Why aren't there very many posts about trials or tribulations? Didn't she have any?
Answer: I want you to know that there were hard times, many of them. I will try to be better at documenting them for "historical" sake. However, it is hard for me to write about the hard times. I don't know if it because I don't want to remember them? Or if I am too prideful and don't want to admit that we weren't perfect...because we/I am far from it. Sometimes it is hard to be real. But please believe me when I say there were plenty of hard time, crippling times actually. But the good always outlasts the bad. I will recommit to documenting all aspects of my life.
Question: "Why in the world are there 3 month gaps between entries?"
Answer: One word...LIFE! The very reason I want to write, is the reason I don't have time to write. LIFE!! There have been taxes due, child milestones, new companies created, hospital trips (and ambulance rides), summer vacations, job changes, new callings, concerts attended, bills paid, toilets scrubbed and fine...some reality TV watched. These are all reasons there are gaps in my entries. Time passes so quickly and usually doing the things I want most gets put on the back burner. Hopefully, it can now take a top spot in my priority list. Because you, my dearest posterity, are a top priority to me.
