Sharmila’s journal arrived from the Kingdom of Bahrain! Yay! Let the journal swap begin!
Well, it doesn’t officially begin until my journal arrives with her, but that should take a while yet.
But I’m working in hers already and I’m loving it. I might have to pick up this type of journal for myself.
I really did not want to go back up to work, knowing I had this awesome journal waiting for me at home. It arrived while I was home on my lunch break, so I didn’t even have time to thumb through it. thankfully, the last half of the work day flew by and I was able to scramble home and read through what she had written thus far, and write my first entry in her journal. THIS is what I love about journal swaps. They are the best creative kick in the pants for me. I usually get a bit bored writing the same way day in and day out. But then I do a journal swap with someone else – I get to see their method of journaling, their way of viewing things, their creative spirit – and it just rekindles my own creative spirit again. So, while Sharmila wrote this BEAUTIFUL page about how I seem to have a knack for knowing when someone is struggling and reaching out in the best way at the best time…really it’s far more selfish than that. I was/am struggling right now and I know that journal writing helps me with that. And I know that doing a journal swap is even MORE helpful for me. In the journal I sent out to her, I’ve swapped with three other people. And since she hadn’t worked in this journal yet, I immediately thought of her. ::smiles:: I’m just happy that it’s working out for her as well as for me. Now I just need my journal to reach her and we can really get this party started! ::laughs::
