I took my journal on the road today. I did my entry at home but had it in my bag and decided to take my posting photo in different scenery. I went to a coffee shop where the coffee was so strong it felt like a kick in the teeth. And while the pumpkin muffin they raved about was pretty, it tasted nothing like pumpkin. But the atmosphere was excellent and we found a great table by the window.
Sitting there, trying not to show any weakness as I attempt to drink my coffee, I noticed the couple sitting outside. The girl had the most interesting journal on the table. If you zoom in on my photo you can see it on the top right. It was at least 3 inches thick with paper designed to look like old parchment bound in leather.
I would have loved to have told her how much I liked her journal, but I didn't want to interrupt. And for some reason it made me think about the Jeep wave. If you've ever owned a Jeep you know what I mean. Basically, Jeep owners give a wave to other Jeeps they encounter on the road. It's the culture and kinda like a head nod or sign of appreciation to one another.
If journal writers had some kind of sign or gesture like that I could have shown my appreciation without interrupting. And if there is one, please let me know. Sharing is caring.
