My blog is my journal/my jounal is my blog.







My hopes, my thoughts, my dreams, they all need to be written down some were. Or do they?

What would the world miss, if I never said a word? If I never had a thought that I shared with others? What if my picture's or my singing voice, were never shared with more than my family? The answer, sadly, is nothing, for now.

There is a difference between a blog and a journal. A journal is for the future generations. A blog is for the here and now. I think that I may have to start a journal or start saving my blog, for the future.

I have talents and passions that I have been hiding away. Not for the fear of preforming, but for the fear of praise. I have spent so many years, hiding my talents, that I don't know how to handle, sincere compliments. My most favorite time I performed, I sang a solo in church, and ran off to a nephew's farewell before any one had a chance give me a compliment.

So here are a few of my pictures and a promise. I will sing more, in public and I will learn to be gracious, when some one compliments that talent. I will write story's and not worry that I can not compare to the talent of my daughter.

More pictures to come- all with love-Boyd

I've always loved your voice, Boyd.

Do you remember thirtymumble years ago when you, Steve and I were singing "Sound of Silence"? I remember you were playing the guitar, and I imagine Steve was as well. I was singing the counter-tune.

Unfortunately, I am the only person in this family who can't sing! It's not fair! Hmph!

You should sing out, proudly. It is one of your gifts.

Love,
Reva

Reva,
I think Steve must have been the one playing guitar. I don't ever remember learning how to play, Sound of Silence.But I'm ready to put the band back together, when you are.

Love Boyd
