so turned 40 yesterday. had breakfast with my father and dinner with my mom and step-father. dad talked about his will, his wishes for end of life (IE, donate his organs, don't have him hooked up to a machine, he wants to be cremated and does not want any sort of a religious ceremony). always a fun conversation.
as for my mom and step-father, it was more about how things are going.
and now I've decided, since most of my writing in a journal happens when things are going crappy in life, I'm going to change things up. I'm challenging myself to write everyday. wish me luck!
