Friends Are Blessings: Who Walk in Each Others Shoes/Footsteps Journal  (A Shared Journal)

Friends Journaling Together

True friendship is something neither time, nor distance can break.

Whether it’s a new budding friendship or a friend you’ve known since your toddler years, a cousin, or sisters you’ve aged into liking.

Communication is key to keeping the friendship solid. Thereby opening mature communication and friendship while inviting discussion in a civil manner (respecting each other’s views amicably).

One fun way to communicate is through a shared friendship journal.

Journaling can be done one of two ways.

If you and your friend live close, you can both share a journal, taking turns writing in it.

There are so many things you can write about:  Cherished Memories, School Experiences, Places You've Been Together, Places You'd Like To See, Encouraging Words.

If you’re a distance apart, consider journaling about your friendship then send the journal to your friend.

You can make it a monthly pen-pal arrangement something you can both look forward to. It’s more personal than emails.

An added feature this Journal has interior Colored Text and Lined Writing Pages.

Thought provoking quotes sprinkled throughout.

We used a glossy cover to cut down on fingerprint markings.

The 8.5 x 11 size gives each friend more writing room for their shared memories.

Grayce is special - she's a dilute calico

 

What is a dilute calico?

A one in 1,000

muted colors gray, tan, white

her great grandmother was one, too

and we just thought she was grayce.

My dad got me a calico (ginger) when I was 4 years old, she was black, orange and white a shorthair.  Then we rescued one years later(baby) with the black, orange and white markings and a shorthair.  Didn't realize the significance of Grayce's coloring until recently in a pet info feed.  For a rescued baby stray, this is really neat.

Books aren't her only hobby she loves to help cook
