It can be hard to see how far you've come without re-visiting where you've come from. Sometimes you get stuck in the harsh feelings from before, but not necessarily ... and not always for long either. Either way it is useful. <br /><br />I used believe in drawing a line in the sand ... leaving the past to it's own devices. But now I see that the past shapes the present. But only in ways we allow.<br /><br /> ... I think I did mention before how dense/slow I am. If you didn't believe me then, I'm sure you will now! 47 years young and so much still to learn. :-) xx JosJoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681996675508746353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-88188266574771419622010-01-06T22:56:08.842-05:002010-01-06T22:56:08.842-05:00I love, love love journals - moleskins are great -...I love, love love journals - moleskins are great - love the texture of the cover!

I use Google Reader to subscribe and they frequently have a list of blogs that they think I might like. I browse them and sometimes find one I like, more often none.<br /><br />I love the way you write; I love that you love Aimee and Renee - they are two of my absolute favorite people on the web. I was thrilled when I read about the chest Renee was sent and sad that I didn't get in on it, but I send her all the positive energy I have every day and frequently leave her comments and send hugs and kisses. She is amazing.<br /><br />I subscribe to Aimee's blog too and like you I get a big lift when I read what she has written not just for the content, but for the wonderful colors.<br /><br />This is too long. Sorry.<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you have to say next time you post.<br /><br />xoxoVicki Holdwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080822190815460018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-9767490730425924622010-01-06T10:55:25.594-05:002010-01-06T10:55:25.594-05:00renee, how welcome you are!

Ditto.<br />I get sad when I look at my journals, because I am so far from where I thought I would be by now, the journals just remind me of that, so I no longer write in them or read them. Perhaps some day I will change my mind.xoxoAnniehttp://blissful-bohemian.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-88126149152094902802010-01-06T09:05:47.606-05:002010-01-06T09:05:47.606-05:00Thank you kj for the lovely comment yesterday.
