I wrote my first journal entry in October of 2010, and over the last decade, 750words has been a constant in my life. Looking back at the data, there were only four months where I didn’t complete a single journal entry, the last time being in October of 2016. Thank you for helping me make sense of my life – it’s made all the difference in the world.

I use all my cups, because I’ve lost them all. Since January 2018 I’d only missed one full day of writing— the day my Dad died. Until October 12, 2020. I don’t know if it was the trip and scheduled time off, or that we were off schedule a bit, but somehow I managed to go to bed and didn’t even remember I had not written. That has never happened. My streak came to an end and I didn’t even know it until the next day and there wasn’t an X in the box. Here I am, starting over again. The silver lining of this? I no longer have a precise day count since the day my Dad died. My streak was the count of how many days I’ve lived without him. It is freeing really, to not really know how long of forever it’s been since I heard his voice, since that last day. It’s okay and I’ve paid my $10 and will forgo my treat. I’ll spend November getting my name off the Wall of Shame and I’ll start to earn my cups again.

I love this website, but I am in mourning today. I wrote last night, and I write in Pages then transfer to the site, but I forgot to transfer it last night and my 897 day streak ended. Ah, well, back to it today. Stay safe, everyone.
