My first journal was started in January of 1985. Wow! 25 years ago. Ironically, that was the month my younger brother died of meningitis. I only wrote in my little blue journal until early March, but it stood as a history for me as to what happened during those days. I wrote about things like who visited our family, and how I dealt with loss as a second grader.

Later I would write several journals while on expedition to England and France. I loved walking though some of Paris’ notable art galleries, sketching and jotting down my thoughts. I would capture all my thoughts and feelings into a spiral bound notebook to later ponder them.

Finally, last November I started this weblog – blog. I have enjoyed every minute of composition. To date, I have written 99 entries. For my 100th blog, I give you my 100 favorite words. This process has taken almost a week. I have scribbled and erased many times but here is my final list!

Hope you enjoy my blogs? I enjoy writing them!
