I haven't been doing much over the last few days but battening down the hatches in the face of impending rain. I find myself with the usual gratitude that the holidays are over. I love giving gifts to family and to Thistle, and making Christmas special for her, but I honestly stopped loving Christmas in general in 2013. I'm really glad for Thistle, though, as she gives me a chance to try and make things fun.
Time seems to pass so quickly when you have a child. Thistle is growing up, including getting a little mouthy from time to time, especially when she is tired. In tandem, she is also growing intellectually and is really into making cool invenions with Legos and a wonderful building set series for girls, Goldiblocks.
Wow, that's all for tonight! It's after two in the morning, and the rain has begun.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
