I have been wanting to document our family's experiences for a while. I have thought about journaling or scrapbooking but neither panned out. This is because I set unattainable goals. And I don't like dealing with the disappointment of a missed goal. So, it's easier for me to walk away. And that's what I usually do. But documenting my children's lives is too important. I really have no business writing (as I'm sure any of my English teachers would tell you) but maybe the cute photos of my kids will make up for the poor writing. So here I go...
When asked to come up with a name I decided to use a twist on the name "Dire Straits". Allan, although wanting nothing to do with this blog (for now), decided against it... adamantly. He felt like it was too negative, that it suggested we were in trouble. So when he suggested "Dyer's Doodles", I knew I needed to make "The Dyer Straits" work. A Strait could be a metaphor for our experiences. A "Strait" is a "navigable channel of water". We love the water and, although our lives present many challenges, we manage to navigate with God's help.
So the hardest part of the Blog, actually getting started and coming up with a name, is behind me. It's all smooth sailing from here...
