Paying Attention

Dear Diary,

It was a cold but fun weekend.  The group met at 2 p.m. for the 6 hour drive that took longer than that with all the stops that had (?) to be made.  Three cars loaded down with 14 people and enough luggage for either 5 more people or 5 more days!  New Orleans Bound was the message on the back windows…more messages on the lead car carrying the bachelorette.  Good food, good drinks, good people, good shopping, good times made for the fun weekend. Some issues that are unavoidable when that many people are traveling together. I was blessed to be included as the sister of the mother of the groom, or the aunt and godmother of the groom, or the friend and future aunt of the bride.

I came home to find my diary was gone. I am a reader and sometimes note leaver. This is my third attempt at having a diary and I must get better about writing. My first time here was during a period of mourning.  I found much comfort from reading other diaries as I struggled with putting words in my own.

I wasn’t paying attention a couple of weeks ago when the message went out about inactive diaries.  I thought I was in the 90 day period but I guess I wasn’t. I will have to do better at…

…paying attention.
