I love to write. I may stink at it but I love to do it. I have found that my personality communicates best through written word rather than verbal. I've always been drawn to writing, probably because I'm a reader. They kind of go hand-in-hand. :) I remember when I was in junior high, I think, my parents got me a Brother Word Processor for Christmas. This was a big deal for two reasons. 1) That was "the thing" then - nobody had computers and typewriters were being phased out with the word processor so that means they weren't cheap. 2) My parents were, in gifting me with that particular thing, acknowledging and encouraging my love of writing. (SIDENOTE: Parents, even if it isn't your thing, encourage and help your child develop what they love.) I remember spending hours in my room writing stories on my word processor. I love to write. I'm grateful that I love to write. I'm grateful for it because it provides me a personal outlet, a way to process, a form of expression, a chance to formulate what I really want to say out loud. What are you grateful for today? It can be anything! And if you haven't been grateful yet today for something stop for moment and reflect, you won't regret it.
This is what my word processor looked like!
Oh memories...
:)
