Here is my first post on my Gaia journal. Really this entry is just to get the whole thing started, but I will try to write something interesting in it other than simply "this is my first journal entry".
It was difficult to get up today. It often is on cold mornings, when your warm bed seems the most inviting place in the world. Because of this I stayed wrapped up in my covers like a cocoon, enjoying the restfulness of it all. Of course, this was rudely interrupted by my dad, who came in and threw the blankets off my feet, exposing them to the chilly air. I struggled for a while, trying to curl back up in bed, but eventually I had to give up and get out of bed to start the day.
After that I went on slowly, getting dressed and eating breakfast before our family went to church. It's always a great feat to get all of the eight members of my family out of the house and into the car without any mishaps, but somehow we manage it every Sunday. And this Sunday all of my younger brothers and sisters were reasonably well-behaved at Mass, too! That is an even greater feat. They weren't rewarded for their good behavior, however. It's funny how when things go well, it's taken for granted, but when things go badly, a big fuss is made!
I remember when I used to be the one who was reprimanded weekly for misbehaving in Mass. My parents told me to sit up straight, pay attention, and participate, all of which I do naturally now. After all, I have to set a good example for my five little brothers and sisters!
Once we left the church and came home, I went upstairs and logged onto Gaia. So here I am, starting my first journal entry. I still have to write out everything for my About section on my profile, but I don't know if I'll do that right now. Starting my online journal is good enough of an accomplishment for now, isn't it?
