While we were waiting for the pizza to arrive we were talking about documenting our kids lives. What it will be like looking back in 20 years at all the photos we have taken. Wondering if our feeble minds will be able to remember anything at all. Would we remember the first report card, the first day at baseball, the busted eye or the style of cloths they wore. I explained to her that is why I scrapbook. Obsessively.
Even though I already love scrapbooking, I have a new perspective of it. I appreciate it even more then just a hobby. I know now that when my kids have grown and left me behind in my wheel chair, that I have decorated with glittery pink flames of course, I can open a scrapbook and be brought back to any given time and remember. To me that is priceless. I know not every one understands why or how I can sit in front of the computer for hours and scrapbook. I don't expect them to. For me it is my journal. It gives me the comfort of knowing that me and my wheel chair will have lots of memories to share and if Babe is nice enough and changes my diaper when needed, I will share them with him too.
I was inspired today by Ali Edward. Click here and check out her web site. You might find yourself starting something new and note worthy.
Thank you and Good night.
