Yesterday I was cleaning out my bedside table drawers and found one of my notebooks I'd crafted years ago. I'd personalized it to make it my own prayer journal/diary/reminder. That was in the year 2009. As I flipped through the pages, I was reminded of what I did and experienced. You see, I was going through different things in my life such as health problems etc. They were causing me anxiety, stress and worry.

Yesterday was one of those little memories that was made. My little one and I had our first blueberry picking! It was right in our pastor's garden.

Tonight, I may be dreaming of blueberries! Go ahead and make small memories. Make sure that you enjoy every minute of it!
