Sentences

I came across an idea in a magazine of a journal which consisted of a daily entry of only one sentence every day - as a memory keeper.  I love the idea and want to give it a try here. Sometimes the thought of sitting down to write a whole entry just seems so overwhelming.  I always end up pressuring myself to complete the entry perfectly with good writing and photography and it just seems like it will take forever. A minimum one sentence entry every day, sometimes with a picture - sometimes not, seems like an approachable and doable feat.  

Here are some of the sentences that should have been posted on this blog in the past couple of months:
