I haven't been interested in writing much lately. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been writing in my family journal regularly. We've been traveling and every day is a new adventure. I feel that it is my duty to record our memories from day to day.
The trick though is to record the facts. I'm not big on rose-colored glasses and of course everything is more fun when you're on vacation and away from worries of laundry, cooking every night and paying bills. So, I try not to go overboard and exaggerate our experiences.
It's not like my entries are boring. They're somewhere between "4pm - ate an early dinner" and "As the lake breeze blew the scent of frog eggs through the conifers, we sat gossiping over our beers and the smoke of a chicken-filled grill.
I think I tend to stick to tangible things:
"After sampling Lime-a-Ritas at Grant's Farm, we had to stop for a 12 pack on the way home! Then Hubby smoked some turkey burgers for the family and they were delicious!"
You know, we're having fun, but our lives aren't some cheesy novel. Not yet anyway.
Oh dear... I think you've glazed over. How 'bout some controversy tomorrow?
