Alaska Travel Journal

As promised to you and to me, I have begun my Alaska Travel Journal.  I actually got 3 pages done!  Nothing exciting, but my motto has always been:  "Done is better than perfect!"  Of course I've always told my boys that if they didn't do a job well, they might as well not have done it at all--I think my journal so far is in one of those two statements.

I actually wanted to start this journal on the cruise ship, but I kept putting it off because I wanted it to be perfect--always the excuse--"if only I could draw better," seems to keep getting in the way.  I need to give myself grace to know that I can only deliver with the skills I currently have, and know that I am getting better, and that I just need to give myself more time.  Maybe I need to take more time too!

Life seems to get in the way of this dream of mine--I almost didn't get to the journal at all because the printer decided to die on me and I had to spend 2 hours trying to fix it before I ended up back at Best Buy to exchange it.  Then back home to install the new printer.  Tomorrow another page to the journal!
