In order to tell a story to a friend of mine in email today (I LOVE our email extravaganza, Kristie Osborn!!!) I had to get out an old journal where I kept a letter to myself. That led to getting out all of my journals and reminiscing.
In December 1990, I was given my first journal for Christmas by my best friend, Mandi Priest (now Buchanan). I read a few entries. I was sad school was canceled (WHAT?), I made the honor roll, I was boy CRAZY, and loved my friends. And wouldn't ya know it...I found 2 fortunes in the margins of December 27, 1990. One was mine and one was Mandi's. Very timely considering the new page I added to my blog in the last few weeks about fortunes. I added those to my fortunes page.
I don't know why I'm surprised that I still, over 20 years later, am sad my school (work) is canceled, I am very successful in all I do, I'm still boy crazy and I LOVE MY FRIENDS. And here I thought I had changed SO much. Just not in the ways that matter, I guess.
What a fun trip down memory lane. I am so grateful I journal. Even more grateful for that very first glorious journal. Many thanks, Mandi!!
Thank you for the flood of memories! Can't believe its been 21 years since those days. Thank you for your friendship then (you saved me) and for sharing your thoughts and memories now. Your upbeat attitude has always been so inspirational to me. You deserve the best - I pray you have a wonderful Christmas!!!
