~~My Pink Book~~

I write in “my pink book” everyday, well just about everyday. I am on the ending pages of this small spiral book shortly. I already have my new one. It isn’t pink this time, it is coral and black. I am excited to begin writing in it soon. This has not always been the case.

My close friend Peggy met me at the door of Pathfinders one Tuesday night and said, “ Sherry, I have something for you!” It was a ‘blue book’! Let’s each start a ‘GRATEFULNESS JOURNAL’ she said excitedly. “What?”, I sighed. She said “Remember we were talking about writing a journal ? We both admitted we do it for about a week and then we give up. Well, I think we should do a 'gratefulness journal', she beamed. All we need do is at the end of the day we write 5 things we are grateful for on one page. The next day we do it again on the next page. I bought a book for me and I bought a book for you. On Sundays we will ask each other, ‘did you write in your book this week?’ ” So we did! Yes, we did ask each other--not every week but almost! I smile to myself when I remember!

I since have many ‘pink books’ although they aren’t all pink. One is blue, one is tan, one is yellow. I have come a long way. I just recently came across my first book Peggy gave me. What a wonderful loving gift she gave me, much more than just my first book. She gave me something of true value. Peggy and I learned to ‘count’ our blessings. To write them down. To TELL of His mercies. To remember how God works. To SEE HIM!

Tomorrow I will tell what my first page looked like all those years ago!

Signing off for now, hugs, Lynette
