Reverb13 - Day One through Three

I just found out about this journalling idea. I believe it was created by Gwen Bell in 2010. Each day an individual answers a prompt which reflects back on the the year that is coming to an end. This year Hope Wallace Kearney is hosting Reverb13 on her blog Besottment. I heard about this project from one of my favorite bloggers Kimberley Wilson on her website TranquilityduJour.

I would love to create a scrapbook but have decided to create a digital version here on my blog.

The days correspond to the day of December. Day one is December 1st. A prompt is revealed every day.

December 1 - Did you try anything new in 2013?
Was there anything that you did in 2013 that was a new experience? What was it? What was it like? How did it make you feel? If you did not try anything new - was there a reason? Something holding you back?



I went on my first Caribbean cruise in early 2013. I loved the island of St. Maarten and the parts of Miami that we visited. Miami is very large and spread out very much like Los Angeles area. Hubby and I rented a car and drove around the South Beach area.   I didn't like the huge mega ship.  It felt very impersonal. Hubby was furious the ship skipped its stop in the Bahamas. It was scary to leave the kids but it was nice to spend time with my hubby. It was nice for him to get away and relax after his health scare over the new year.


December 2 - What was the most memorable gathering you attended (or held) in 2013?
Did you attend a fun event? Throw a great party? Had dinner out with a great group of friends? Accomplished the perfect family outing? Which was the most memorable (good or bad), and why?



2006 Reunion in Los Angeles

The Moore family reunion which hubby and I coordinated was the most memorable event that I attended this year. As I described in a summer blog post, Hubby and I stressed out planning the event, organizing the supplies, purchasing the food, transporting everything to the event, setting up the picnic, cooking the bbq, and cleaning up the park after.


December 3 - What storm did you weather in 2013?
Big or small... obstacle(s) did you overcome? Feel free to be literal if you prefer... was there an actual storm that you survived?
My son getting in trouble at the end of jr high school.
