JOURNEYING JOURNAL

submitted by: Gala Bohannon

When my husband and I were dating, he went away to college for a year. We decided to write back and forth in a journal. When he would come home to visit, he would give me the journal and then the next time he came, I would return it.

In it were beautiful thoughts about how much we missed each other, what our plans were for the future, how our days were spent away from each other. It was so wonderful to be able to take my time writing in it. It was equally as wonderful to read over and over. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I read his thoughts–I blush a little sometimes too.

It has been about ten years now, and we still refer to the journal in conversations. It was a wonderful way to be close at heart, without being close at hand.
