Day 2 Reverb 10
First off...if you are looking for the Sketches 4 All blog hop, you can find it here.
Today's prompt is all about writing. Something I do a lot of and yet not not enough of all at the same time. How can that be? It's easy! How much do we write of something and that writing is virtually without depth? I think about this a lot when I am doing my journaling for a scrapbook page. I have taken a class and read many articles about improving what I write, adding more feeling and depth to it. I should take that and use it but often I don't. The biggest thing getting in the way of me writing is myself! I just don't take the time I should. It's easier, faster to just jot down the basic details. The sad thing is, that if I do take the time to really put myself into it, the page as a whole becomes so much more than just photos in an album. So, by this time next year, I would like to say that I made the time to add the depth to what I write...to make my albums more than just photos in a book with random details.

Reverb 10
First...if you are looking for the Sketches 4 All birthday blog hop simply go here. The hop goes on until Dec. 6th and I hope you will join in the fun!
So...now you may be asking what Reverb 10 is. It's a daily prompt designed to help you reflect on the past year as you move forward to the next. A way to get to know yourself a little more and to share the experience with others. As a scrapbooker and family archiver, I think it will be a great way for me to gain a different perspective about the everyday. Sometimes, journaling or telling the story needs a little more meat to the text...and just maybe, I'll find that here.
As far as today's prompt from Reverb 10: How would I encapsulate 2010 within one word? The first word that comes to mind is "trying". This was not the easiest of years for our family. We have seen a lot of illness and changes that are not so easy to fathom. While we are closer as a family, I definately could have done without some of the stress. One year from today I would hope the word I use will be "comfortable".
