Today is a true day of Thanksgiving. My Uncle generously gave one of his kidney's so that my Dad could live a long and healthy life. The surgery's went well for both my Uncle and my Dad. They have recovered and my Dad's new kidney is working well. I am so grateful to loving family members who give of themselves time and time again. I have been so blessed to be a part of my Dad's family. I love each and everyone of my extended family.
On a different note I have decided that I am not the best writer and there are times when I am not sure what to write, however I love that fact that writing does not have to be rigid with specific guidelines. I have enjoyed being able to get my thoughts down and letting them wander as I reflect on my day or experiences that I have. Many of my writings have been a result of me rolling thoughts around in my head and then letting them flow out on paper. I realize that writing doesn't always happen this way, but I love it when it works and the results are better than what I expected. If I ever aspired to become a writer I know that I will have to do a lot more than what I have done so far, which is really just for college. This experience of blogging has been enlightening. I have always liked reading other people's blogs and thought "WOW!" they are awesome. What it boils down to is just taking a few minutes a day(or hours for some) and letting our thoughts out and sharing with others. I hope that I will be able to keep this up after this class. And maybe be brave enough to share with more than my classmates and my professor.
I will be praying for you dad and uncle. It sounds like you have had a semester much like mine. I also, would like to keep blogging and feeling more comfortable to share while in my writing pants. I wish your family well. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful family. I think the most important thing that I have learned is to just let ideas flow. It seems to work for the kids at school that I have been watching. They like writing time! What a victory for their teacher.
