I think about you every day.

To my children, I have not been writing here, regularly. It is not because I do not think about writing to you. In fact, almost every day, I think to myself, “I should write about this in my blog. I would like to talk to A and E about this – or tell them about this – or share this with them.”

So, I am going to try again. And if they are not always completely well thought-out, carefully crafted posts, then so be it. I sometimes think that you probably don’t care that much to read my ramblings. Then I think about how much I wish I had something of my mother’s like this to read. And I come back to this.

I also have pledged to try to be healthy (daily exercise), grateful (daily thoughts of gratitude, however small) and creative (this blog, good intentions to learn the guitar or … Spanish!). The pledge means I trying to keep a promise to myself and a promise to you. I do it imperfectly but I am trying. Because I think about you every day.
