** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Welcome to Jessica's Ramblings! WARNING!This journal is pretty creative and can be off the wall! But, I think most people enjoy that anyway. As I'm getting back into journaling, this journal will contain my picture party blog from Blogger, story/poem ideas and highlighting of pieces I'm proud of. Sometimes you may even get a review of my day. Sit back and enjoy!
Power to you, Jess. They taught you a lot, for sure. Above all, they taught you to be yourself, and not be swayed into their modes of thought. Not everyone can achieve that.
The video was neat to see your reaction to the stuff you mentioned you received. My niece has scrapbooks that are huge with all the bells and whistles she added. I will take a peek at your Shutterfly. I am glad I stopped by! Take care.
It sounds like going to your happy place was the best decision! Aside from the missing/stolen/discarded bag, the rest flowed. I can tell you are a pro at getting away. Yours is the first new to me blog I have read. My goal this month is to read 10. I may not reach my goal, but am thrilled you were the latest one to update. I did not note the first entry about your birthday. I shall go back and do that now. Have a great week! tracker
Way to go, Jess! Seeing you happier is happiness for me, too.
As to "Chris says I shouldn't talk about the past, sometimes I need to," I understand your need. A sad or traumatic past or any other such experience needs to be handled well, talked, written or dealt with in some way first, before burying it away. If you bury it too soon, its ghost will come back to haunt you. I don't know if it could work for everyone, but I would suggest keeping a very private locked journal and writing in it every day. Not that day's events only but what especially hurt you in the past, even if you write the same thing over and over.
My journal and blogs keep so much alive... I've used them to remember, process... then let go.
I sleep 'alone' when I travel, sharing a room if I'm in a hostel. I live alone in Montana; but, sleeping next to Pan makes me happy.
My friend Gary reminds me of my father. I met him about a year after my father died. Marilyn (who helped me get disability) reminded me of Marilyn (my former boss I didn't get along with). Very similar in appearance and personality. Interesting juxtaposition.
Love this information you shared. Laughter can truly be the best medicine. These giggle sessions are also healing and I believe you're right. Both are watching and it warms their angelic heart that you remember them like this.

Such a sweet entry! Ms. Johnson must be someone very special, and also, she recognized your talent in expressing yourself and writing. It's good to keep a journal at any age. Better if done lifelong. Unfortunately for most of us, life gets in the way.
