one, two and three

i couldn't make up my mind how or if to do this post.

my husband said blame it on him, he was the one that made me.

but i wouldn't do that.

the problem is, i'm not comfortable posting certain things here,
some things feel right only for my book journal.

except i don't keep one of those anymore.

only for trips.

so.

i'm posting with the intention of a keepsake for me.

and maybe my kids or their kids,

for the future.

but.

i've disabled the comments just for this post,

because i am a little embarrassed, it feels too much like blowing your own horn.

am i making any sense at all here?

i know, you can't tell me.

thank you for the kind words anyway,

i can feel them.
