October 2012: A GOLDMINE I tell you...

HELLO SCRAPPY MINIONS!!! :D
I had this whole "HEADER that leads into an AWESOME CHALLENGE
DESCRIPTION alllll worked out....then I've had a weekend FULL of
technical issues (the whole "uh, my C: drive disappeared and my
desktop is totally different" scenario lasted alllll weekend).
So it is with my apologies that I give you the "Not as smoothly
written rendition of what you're to accomplish with this
challenge". I really hope you get more from my
example/journaling than you do from my description. OY.
Your journaling challenge for this month, should you choose to
accept it:
Use an "older" picture (AKA go and look into your "older" stash
- you know- that stuff you haven't seen in a while) and tap into
the "now" emotions you feel about the photo ... ugh. SAMPLE
AND JOURNALING TO FOLLOW:

2005: Journaling ... I will admit, that sometimes I am
simply shocked by the photos that I find "tucked away" for
safekeeping in my stash of things to scrapbook/keep. These were
in my last goldmine find. A week has passed at this point,
since his 15th birthday. To find an envelope full of his little
league photos (which apparently didn't get passed out to family
either) at the ripe old age of seven (photo was Spring 2005). I
felt like I was in a time machine. I can absolutely remember his
face just like this - seven years ago can feel like "a lot" or
"a little" depending on perspective.
Dealing with separation as we are at this point - I relaly need
to hold on to little moments like this that hug my heart
strings, and appreciate the good feelings. I an celebrate my
little man becoming such a young man (soooo close to being
'old', he says).
I'm glad that my organizational skills with my photos allows for
me to have moements like this --I can go on a mental vacation
and hang out with my seven year old little legaue dude for a
while. And I'm also glad for Facebook, where a mom can post
pictures of her PreciousBabyBoy and everyone can share the "aww"
moment with me ;)
(photos circa 2005/journaling 2012)
Can't wait to see what everyone digs up ;)
HAPPY JOURNALING!!!
