Love Letters to your Baby

I LOVE my Book Club. We have quite an eclectic group of gals with significantly different views on just about everything. One of the things I love most about my Book Club (other than getting a night out of the house) is the fact that I end up reading books I'd normally never pick up. The Book Club also encourages me to read, period.

After one novel we read, I felt inspired to begin my own musings. I didn't feel like I had much to write about at the time, so, I began a "Dear Diary" but directed the content to, and about, my little guy. I envisioned presenting him with a little album of these Love Letters on a particularly special day - like his wedding, or the birth of his own child.

I thought this idea was completely original....until I stumbled across an author who wrote a book about it.

I haven't read this book, but didn't want to take any credit for my original idea (even though it was original to me!).

Finding time to write isn't always easy, but taking a moment to be grateful is.
