...or is it Blogaversary?... or maybe it's Blogoversary...
Any way, Three Little Monkeys turned ONE today!
In honor of the big day, a few nights ago, while Bryan was on-call at the hospital and the kids were in bed, I decided to read through all 133 posts in our blog from the past year. Some made me laugh out loud (like when Logan thought I was "cooking bums"), some made me tear up a bit (like when Hannah was in the NICU), but mostly, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for all the blessings we have experienced in the last year. For me, that is one of the best reasons to keep a journal; I can look back and recognize all the blessings that I may have forgotten otherwise.
"Those who keep a book of remembrance are more likely to keep the Lord in remembrance in their daily lives. Journals are a way of counting our blessings and leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity. -Spencer W. Kimball
This is the first time I can say I have kept a journal regularly for a whole year. I don't know if it's the encouraging comments from my friends and family, or the egotistic satisfaction of seeing my words in print, but whatever it is, it keeps me coming back. I love blogging!
Here are a few of my other favorite posts from the last year:
Happy Blogiversary to us!
