The following is a sample Myself journal entry:

Myself

Small hands dotted by freckles, shoulder-length auburn hair woven with blond, dark brown eyes filled with enthusiasm. What I recall of my mother is sketchy, much like a slide show that I have put into motion using my imagination. Because she died when I was ten, my vision of her, my faded memory, may have become glorified over the years. I like to think that what I remember is real, and if it isn't but provides me comfort or guidance, that's okay too.

As family members have filled in the empty places in my knowledge of her, my impression is fairly accurate. We are, I believe, very much mother and daughter. Her chosen occupation found her hours on end handling books and working with teenagers in the town library. Likewise, books are a passion of mine, libraries provide a favorite refuge, and young people I teach are my family. Whereas my mother began raising five children, my students are my protégés, my responsibility. Relationships of any kind for both of us ranked highest in priority.

In personality, my mother's wit was quick and her tongue sharp. I also am known for my sense of humor and relentless sarcasm. Love for animals, the outdoors, and night solitude have somehow been transferred to me. Even though I wasn't able to know her as an adult, I like to imagine that we would have wonderful conversations about writing, about current issues, and about everyday routines.

Even though I have been denied the privilege of knowing my mother after I became an adult, she is still very much a part of my life. It is amazing how much she is in my thoughts and dreams. I find myself thinking “What would Mother think about this outfit?” or “Would Mother like this new boyfriend?” I often wonder if she would be proud of me now, and I find myself being influenced by thoughts of her when making important decisions about my present and about ones that may have an major influence on my future.

I really miss my mother even though I have not had her in my life for many years. I wish she could be here to see me walk down the isle when I marry some day. I wish she could be here with me when I have children (her grandchildren). However, since this is not possible, she is and always will be in my heart.
