Reflecting on Now

Journal Date: June 6, 2017 So imagine that you cannot turn off your thoughts. In my mind, my  memories are like pieces to a puzzle. Some of them fit and some of them do not. At times, when I try to relax my mind, it can be difficult. Nothing seems to work. As I reflect, I realize there are a few things that  I still wish to accomplish in the near future. What is it that I actually remember that is accurate about my life? Well, for one, I have not accomplished all there is and that I have set out to do. Motherhood is one, everything else seems to be a blur. Yet, I acknowledge there have been small wins along the way. Add in a few degrees and what else?

Prayer has become part of my routine.  I

For me to become more techie driven in the ever-changing world of social media presents a challenge, to say the least. Amidst the world of technology.
