The Journal

Day 1 : So much to say, no one to say it to… or nobody who cares to hear it.  Journaling was recommended. May this online log be an outlet to combat pitiful feelings of isolation and loneliness. Perhaps someone may be interested in reading my thoughts, chiming in, and providing valuable insight.  

Grand news arrived in the morning hours, as I sat working hard at my desk focused on the daily routine. The caption to the sonogram image read “176 bpm.” “I’m going to be an aunt.” I thought.  “What an amazing feeling.” I never imagined either myself or my brother procreating. Yet, here we are approaching the end of the  year 2022 nine months away from the arrival of my niece or nephew, whatever it may turn out to be.  I’m overjoyed with the news of the addition to our family.
