I have always enjoyed journaling.  When I was a teenager, my diary knew all my personal stories. Piles of notebooks were filled with thoughts, song lyrics, movie quotes and my raw emotions.  Since I loved taking photographs equally-so, I compiled it all by creating scrapbooks of my travels, my friendships and later on...my own family.  To this day, I take the time to write in my journal....because every time I've come across an older one from the past, I realize how I've captured moments through my writing.  Times have changed but I've grown and learned a lot in my life through reflection. 
However, I must admit that with all the goal-setting I've done, the checklists and things-to-do lists I've prepared for...not everything goes in the direction I thought it would.  I do take comfort (many a times) that God's plan is always bigger and better than mine. I'm thankful for this journal that was given to me by my sister, Aileen. You know that I will enjoy this during my quiet moments...when the kids are asleep and the hubby's snoring!
Best Wishes and Happy Journaling!
