A New Journal

A new journal. I had spotted it several months ago at Wal-Mart. I was willing to pay $10 for it because I knew I'd use it to record memories - little moments of my life that I don't want to forget. I left it there at Wal-mart though, knowing that I still had several pages in my "old" composition journal to fill out. Many weeks went by and I spotted the journal again, only this time at Ollies with a price tag of $3. I smiled as I placed it in my basket, just knowing it was a little gift from God. And up until now, it has sat on the floor by the bed, stacked with other books and the previous journal on top ~ me slowly filling in the remaining pages. And every time I set eyes on this empty journal, I could help but thing of the memories that may be recorded in this journal. There is about 3 times as many pages as my typical compositions, which means if I continue to record at the same pace, this book could hold up to five years of my life. I could be in my early 30's when I scribble on the last page of this book. It definitely puts a fresh perspective on time and a life; both being precious gifts from God.
